Abstract

The crystal device has a rectangular substrate, a frame which is provided along the outer circumferential edge of the upper surface of the substrate, an electrode pad which is provided on the upper surface of the substrate, a wiring pattern which is electrically connected to the electrode pad and is provided on the upper surface of the substrate, a crystal element which is mounted on the electrode pad, and a lid for air-tight sealing the crystal element. The thickness of the electrode pad in the vertical direction differs from the thickness of the wiring pattern in the vertical direction.

Claims (26)

1. A crystal device comprising:

a rectangular substrate,

a frame which is provided along an outer circumferential edge of an upper surface of the substrate,

an electrode pad which is provided on the upper surface of the substrate,

a wiring pattern which is electrically connected to the electrode pad, is provided on the upper surface of the substrate and is narrower than the electrode pad at a position connected to the electrode pad,

a crystal element which is mounted on the electrode pad and comprises a crystal blank, the crystal blank comprising a surface facing the upper surface of the substrate, and the surface of the crystal blank being flat, and

a lid for air-tight sealing the crystal element, wherein

a thickness of the electrode pad in a vertical direction is constant over the whole of the electrode pad and greater than a thickness of the wiring pattern in the vertical direction.

2. A crystal device comprising:

a rectangular substrate,

a frame which is provided along an outer circumferential edge of an upper surface of the substrate,

an electrode pad which is provided on the upper surface of the substrate,

a wiring pattern which is electrically connected to the electrode pad and is provided on the upper surface of the substrate,

a crystal element which is mounted on the electrode pad, and

a lid for air-tight sealing the crystal element,

wherein a thickness of the electrode pad in a vertical direction is smaller than a thickness of the wiring pattern in the vertical direction.

3. The crystal device according to claim 1 , wherein the wiring pattern is provided so as to be superimposed on the frame when viewed by a planar view.

4. The crystal device according to claim 1 , wherein a portion of the wiring pattern is provided so as to extend from the electrode pad toward a long side of the frame and be exposed.

5. The crystal device according to claim 4 , comprising:

a pair of the wiring patterns, wherein

the portions of the wiring patterns become line symmetric with a line L which passes through a center point P of the substrate and is parallel to the long sides of the substrate.

6. The crystal device according to claim 1 , comprising:

a pair of the electrode pads, wherein

the electrode pads are provided along one side of the substrate, and

protruding portions provided on the upper surfaces of the electrode pads.

7. The crystal device according to claim 1 , further comprising a projecting portion which is provided on the upper surface of the substrate and faces a side of the crystal element.
