Abstract

A piezoelectric resonator includes a resonator substrate, a base substrate supporting the resonator substrate, a lid substrate covering a surface of the resonator substrate, the surface being on an opposite side of a surface facing the base substrate, a first excitation electrode formed on the surface of the resonator substrate facing the lid substrate, a second excitation electrode formed on the surface of the resonator substrate facing the base substrate, and a third electrode provided on the surface of the resonator substrate facing the base substrate, the third electrode being electrically connected to the first excitation electrode through a concave portion which is formed on a side surface of the resonator substrate.

Claims (7)

1. A piezoelectric resonator comprising:

a resonator substrate made of a quartz crystal and having a side surface in a direction of an X-axis as a crystal axis of the quartz crystal;

a base substrate supporting the resonator substrate;

a lid substrate covering a surface of the resonator substrate, the surface being on an opposite side of a surface facing the base substrate;

a first excitation electrode formed on the surface of the resonator substrate facing the lid substrate;

a second excitation electrode formed on the surface of the resonator substrate facing the base substrate, and

a third electrode provided on the surface of the resonator substrate facing the base substrate, the third electrode being electrically connected to the first excitation electrode through a concave portion which is formed on a side surface of the resonator substrate in a positive direction of the X-axis.
