Embodiment approach 1

[0046] figure 1 It is a plan view showing the schematic structure of the vibrating piece of Embodiment 1, figure 2 (a) is to show figure 1 A cross-sectional view of the A-A section, figure 2 (b) is shown enlarged figure 1 A partial floor plan of Part B. First, refer to figure 1 A schematic structure of the vibrating element will be described. The vibrating piece 10 is developed on a plane composed of an X axis and a Y axis perpendicular to the X axis, and the Z axis represents the thickness.

[0047]The material of the vibrating piece 10 of this embodiment is not particularly limited, and may be quartz, a piezoelectric material other than quartz, or other materials. In the case of quartz, the X axis is the electrical axis and the Y axis is the mechanical axis. The vibrator is cut out from a single crystal of quartz so that the optical axis and the Z axis are the optical axes.

Abstract

A resonator element and a resonator can reduce the thermoelastic loss and have a high Q value. The resonator element 10 includes: a resonating arm 30 which performs flexural vibration; a base portion 20 connected to an end of the resonating arm 30; and a tapered portion 25 which is axisymmetrical with respect to a centerline which bisects the width of the resonating arm 30, and which has a width increasing toward a portion of the tapered portion 25 connected to the base portion 20 from a portion of the tapered portion 25 connected to the resonating arm 30, wherein assuming that the length and width of the resonating arm 30 are L and W and the length and width of the tapered portion 25 are Lt and Wt, the shape of the tapered portion 25 is controlled to satisfy a taper length occupancy [eta]=Lt / L and a taper width occupancy [xi]=2 Wt / W. As a result, it is possible to realize a resonator element with a stable vibration mode by increasing the Q factor compared with the case where the shape of the tapered portion is prescribed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a vibrating piece and a vibrator with the vibrating piece. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, there is known a vibrating piece that has a vibrating arm and a base to which the vibrating arm is coupled, and a tapered portion that is symmetrical with respect to the vibration center of the vibrating arm is provided at the joint between the vibrating arm and the base (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). . [0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2005-5896 [0004] In such Patent Document 1, by providing a tapered portion at the joint between the vibrating arm and the base, the leakage of the fundamental vibration is suppressed, thereby increasing the Q value without affecting the vibration mode. Furthermore, the object of Patent Document 1 is to prevent the vibrating element from being damaged when an impact force is applied, and to prevent deterioration of the vibration mod...
