Abstract

A vibrator device includes a silicon substrate having a through hole, a first terminal placed on a first surface of the silicon substrate, a second terminal placed on a second surface opposite to the first surface of the silicon substrate, a wire passing the through hole and electrically coupling the first terminal and the second terminal, a resin layer placed between the wire and an inner wall defining the through hole, a silicon oxide layer placed between the resin layer and the inner wall, and a vibrator element bonded to the first terminal.

Claims (32)

1. A vibrator device comprising:

a silicon substrate having a through hole;

a first terminal placed on a first surface of the silicon substrate;

a second terminal placed on a second surface opposite to the first surface of the silicon substrate;

a wire passing the through hole and electrically coupling the first terminal and the second terminal;

a resin layer placed between the wire and an inner wall defining the through hole;

a silicon oxide layer placed between the resin layer and the inner wall; and

a vibrator element bonded to the first terminal.

2. The vibrator device according to claim 1 , wherein

the resin layer is further placed between the first surface and the first terminal.

3. The vibrator device according to claim 2 , further comprising a lid bonded to the first surface, wherein

the lid and the silicon substrate form a cavity that accommodates the vibrator element, and

the resin layer is covered by the wire and the first terminal.

4. The vibrator device according to claim 2 , further comprising a plurality of metal bumps bonding the vibrator element and the first terminal.

5. The vibrator device according to claim 4 , wherein

the plurality of metal bumps include a first metal bump and a second metal bump, and

the through hole is placed between the first metal bump and the second metal bump in a plan view.

6. The vibrator device according to claim 4 , wherein

the plurality of metal bumps are placed along an outer edge of the through hole in a plan view.

7. The vibrator device according to claim 2 , further comprising a single metal bump bonding the vibrator element and the first terminal, wherein

the single metal bump surrounds the through hole in a plan view.

8. The vibrator device according to claim 1 , further comprising an oscillation circuit electrically coupled to the second terminal and generating an oscillation signal.

9. An electronic apparatus comprising:

the vibrator device comprising

a silicon substrate having a through hole;

a first terminal placed on a first surface of the silicon substrate;

a second terminal placed on a second surface opposite to the first surface of the silicon substrate;

a wire passing the through hole and electrically coupling the first terminal and the second terminal;

a resin layer placed between the wire and an inner wall defining the through hole;

a silicon oxide layer placed between the resin layer and the inner wall; and

a vibrator element bonded to the first terminal; and

an arithmetic circuit that operates by an output signal from the vibrator device.
