Abstract

A resonator device includes: a resonator element; a heat generating unit; a first package including a first base at which the resonator element and the heat generating unit are disposed, and a first lid bonded to the first base so as to accommodate the resonator element between the first lid and the first base; and a low emissivity layer that is disposed at an inner surface of the first lid and that has an emissivity lower than an emissivity of the first lid. In addition, a constituent material of the first lid is silicon, and the emissivity of the low emissivity layer at room temperature is less than 0.5.

Claims (45)

1 . A resonator device comprising:

a resonator element;

a heat generating unit;

a first package including a first base at which the resonator element and the heat generating unit are disposed, and a first lid bonded to the first base so as to accommodate the resonator element between the first lid and the first base; and

a low emissivity layer that is disposed at an inner surface of the first lid and that has an emissivity lower than an emissivity of the first lid.

2 . The resonator device according to claim 1 , wherein

a constituent material of the first lid is silicon, and

the emissivity of the low emissivity layer at room temperature is less than 0.5.

3 . The resonator device according to claim 2 , wherein

a constituent material of the low emissivity layer contains at least one of copper, titanium, tungsten, aluminum, aluminum oxide, gold, chromium, nickel, nickel oxide, platinum, silver, and cobalt.

4 . The resonator device according to claim 1 , wherein

a constituent material of the first lid is Kovar, and

the emissivity of the low emissivity layer at room temperature is less than 0.05.

5 . The resonator device according to claim 4 , wherein

a constituent material of the low emissivity layer contains at least one of copper, tungsten, aluminum, and gold.

6 . The resonator device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a bonding layer configured to bond the first lid and the first base, wherein

the low emissivity layer is made of same material as the bonding layer.

7 . The resonator device according to claim 1 , wherein

the low emissivity layer is also disposed at an outer surface of the first lid.

8 . The resonator device according to claim 1 , further comprising

a second package including a second base at which the first package is disposed and a second lid bonded to the second base so as to accommodate the first package between the second lid and the second base.

9 . A resonator device comprising:

a resonator element;

a heat generating unit;

a first package including a first base at which the resonator element is disposed, and a first lid bonded to the first base so as to accommodate the resonator element between the first lid and the first base;

a second package including a second base at which the first package is disposed, and a second lid bonded to the second base so as to accommodate the first package and the heat generating unit between the second lid and the second base; and

a first low emissivity layer that is disposed at an inner surface of the second lid and that has an emissivity lower than an emissivity of the second lid.

10 . The resonator device according to claim 9 , wherein

a constituent material of the second lid is Kovar, and

the emissivity of the first low emissivity layer at room temperature is less than 0.05.

11 . The resonator device according to claim 10 , wherein

a constituent material of the first low emissivity layer contains at least one of copper, tungsten, aluminum, and gold.

12 . The resonator device according to claim 9 , further comprising

a second low emissivity layer that is disposed at an inner surface of the first lid and that has an emissivity lower than an emissivity of the first lid.

13 . The resonator device according to claim 12 , wherein

a constituent material of the first lid is silicon, and

the emissivity of the second low emissivity layer at room temperature is less than 0.5.

14 . The resonator device according to claim 13 , wherein

a constituent material of the second low emissivity layer contains at least one of copper, titanium, tungsten, aluminum, aluminum oxide, gold, chromium, nickel, nickel oxide, platinum, silver, and cobalt.

15 . The resonator device according to claim 9 , wherein

the heat generating unit is disposed at the first base.

16 . The resonator device according to claim 9 , wherein

the heat generating unit is disposed at the second base, and

the first package is disposed at the heat generating unit.
