[0047] A resonator package structure is introduced below, which optimizes the width of the optimization region, the curvature radius of the rounded corner and the thickness of the resonant region to achieve better boundary effect and energy locking effect, thereby reducing the loss of vibration energy and the resonant impedance, and optimizing the vibration characteristics.

Please refer to Figure 2a 、 Figure 2b 、 Figure 2c 、 Figure 2d andFigure 2e A first embodiment of the resonator package structure 2 is described as follows. The resonator package structure 2 includes a base 20, a resonator crystal piece 22, and a top cover 24. The resonator crystal piece 22 includes a resonant region 220, at least one optimized region 221, a frame region 222, and two connecting regions 223. Two optimized regions 221 are taken as an example. In some embodiments of the present application, the resonant region 220, the frame region 222, the two connecting regions 223, and the two optimized regions 221 can be integrally formed. The resonant region 220, the frame region 222, the two connecting regions 223, and the two optimized regions 221 can be quartz, but the present application is not limited thereto. The resonant region 220 is rectangular, each optimized region 221 has a first side and a second side parallel to each other and two third sides parallel to each other, and the first side is perpendicular to the third side. The resonant region 220 is located between the two optimized regions 221, and the first sides of the two optimized regions 221 are connected to the two parallel sides of the resonant region 220, respectively. The first embodiment needs to satisfy at least one of the first condition and the second condition. In the first condition, the optimized region 221 has at least one fillet. For example, each optimized region 221 has two fillets opposite to each other, and each fillet is connected between the second side and the corresponding third side. In the second condition, the height of the bottom surface of each optimized region 221 is higher than the height of the bottom surface of the resonant region 220, the height of the top surface of each optimized region 221 is lower than the height of the top surface of the resonant region 220, and the length X between the first side and the second side of each optimized region 221 divided by the thickness Y of the resonant region 220 is equal to A, 0 < A < 5. If the first condition is satisfied, the radius of curvature R of each fillet divided by the thickness Y of the resonant region 220 is equal to B, 0 < B < 4. The resonator package structure 2 achieves better boundary effect and energy locking effect according to the width of the optimized region 221, the radius of curvature R of the fillet, and the thickness Y of the resonant region 220, thereby reducing the loss of vibration energy and the resonant impedance, i.e., equivalent series resistance (ESR), and optimizing the vibration characteristics. If A is greater than 5 or B is greater than 4, the resonant impedance will increase sharply. The height difference between the optimized region 221 and the resonant region 220 can block the transmission path of the resonant acoustic wave to prevent energy from spreading out from the resonant region 220. The optimized region 221 cannot be circular or elliptical. If the optimized region 221 is circular or elliptical, the resonant spurious wave will be coupled, causing the resonant impedance to increase sharply. The frame region 222 is arranged on the base 20, wherein the frame region 222 surrounds the resonant region 220 and all the optimized regions 221. The two connecting regions 223 are connected to the second sides of the two optimized regions 221, respectively, and each connecting region 223 is connected between the frame region 222 and the second side of the optimized region 221, and is away from the fillet. The top cover 24 is arranged on the frame region 222 to shield the two optimized regions 221, the two connecting regions 223, and the resonant region 220.
[0049] To electrically connect external elements, the resonator package structure 2 can further comprise a first electrode layer 25, a second electrode layer 26 and a plurality of conductive pads 27. The first electrode layer 25 is disposed on the bottom surface of the connecting region 223, the optimization region 221 and the resonant region 220, and electrically connected to the resonant region 220. The second electrode layer 26 is disposed on the top surface of the connecting region 223, the optimization region 221 and the resonant region 220, and electrically connected to the resonant region 220. The first electrode layer 25 and the second electrode layer 26 can correspond to two connecting regions 223 respectively, or correspond to the same connecting region 223. The conductive pads 27 are disposed on the bottom surface of the base 20, and electrically connected to external elements.

Figure 3b Top view of the resonator wafer and the second electrode layer thereon for the second embodiment of the resonator package structure of the present application. Please refer to Figure 2b 、 Figure 3a and Figure 3bThe second embodiment of the resonator package structure of the present application is described as follows. The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in the shape of the resonator crystal piece 22. The resonator crystal piece 22 comprises a resonator region 220, two optimization regions 221, a frame region 222 and two connection regions 223. The resonator region 220 is in a rectangular shape. Each of the optimization regions 221 has a first side and a second side parallel to each other and two third sides parallel to each other, and the first side is perpendicular to the third side. The resonator region 220 is located between the two optimization regions 221, and the first side of each of the optimization regions 221 is connected to the two sides of the resonator region 220 parallel to each other. The second embodiment satisfies at least one of the first condition and the second condition. In the first condition, each of the optimization regions 221 has two corners opposite to each other, and each of the corners is connected between the second side and the corresponding third side. The corners of the two optimization regions 221 comprise two fillets and two straight angles. In the second embodiment, the two fillets are located on a first straight line, and the two straight angles are located on a second straight line, and the first straight line is parallel to the second straight line. In other words, one of the optimization regions 221 has a fillet as a corner, and the other optimization region 221 has a straight angle as a corner. In the second condition, the height of the bottom surface of each of the optimization regions 221 is higher than the height of the bottom surface of the resonator region 220, the height of the top surface of each of the optimization regions 221 is lower than the height of the top surface of the resonator region 220, and the length X between the first side and the second side of each of the optimization regions 221 divided by the thickness Y of the resonator region 220 is equal to A, and 0 < A < 5. If the first condition is satisfied, the radius R of each of the fillets divided by the thickness Y of the resonator region 220 is equal to B, and 0 < B < 4. The resonator package structure 2 achieves better boundary effect and energy locking effect according to the width of the optimization region 221, the radius R of the fillet and the thickness Y of the resonator region 220, thereby reducing the loss of vibration energy and the resonator impedance, and optimizing the vibration characteristics. If A is greater than 5 or B is greater than 4, the resonator impedance will increase sharply. The height difference between the optimization region 221 and the resonator region 220 can block the transmission path of the resonant acoustic wave, thereby preventing the energy from escaping from the resonator region 220. The frame region 222 is arranged on the base 20, and the frame region 222 surrounds the resonator region 220 and all the optimization regions 221. The two connection regions 223 are connected to the two straight angles respectively, and each of the connection regions 223 is connected between the frame region 222 and the straight angle. Since the inner edge of the frame region 222 is in a rectangular shape, in the second embodiment, the short inner edge of the frame region 222 connected by the connection region 223 is taken as an example.

Please refer to Figure 2b 、 Figure 4a and Figure 4bThe third embodiment of the resonator package structure of the present application is described as follows. The third embodiment differs from the second embodiment in the position of the connecting region 223. In the third embodiment, the long inner edge of the frame region 222 connected by the connecting region 223 is taken as an example, and the remaining features have been described in the second embodiment, which will not be described here.

Please refer to Figure 2b Figure 5a and Figure 5b The fourth embodiment of the resonator package structure of the present application is described as follows. The fourth embodiment differs from the first embodiment in the shape of the resonator crystal piece 22. The resonator crystal piece 22 comprises a resonator region 220, two optimization regions 221, a frame region 222 and two connecting regions 223. The resonator region 220 is in the shape of a rectangle. Each of the optimization regions 221 has a first side and a second side parallel to each other and two third sides parallel to each other, the first side being perpendicular to the third side. The resonator region 220 is located between the two optimization regions 221, and the first side of each of the optimization regions 221 is connected to a side of the resonator region 220 parallel to it. Each of the optimization regions 221 has two corners opposite to each other, and each of the corners is connected between the second side and the corresponding third side. The corners of the two optimization regions 221 comprise two straight corners and two rounded corners. The fourth embodiment satisfies at least one of the first condition and the second condition. In the first condition, the corners of the two optimization regions 221 further comprise two rounded corners and two straight corners. In the fourth embodiment, the two rounded corners are located on a first straight line, and the two straight corners are located on a second straight line, the first straight line and the second straight line being staggered. In other words, one of the optimization regions 221 has corners comprising rounded corners and straight corners, and the other optimization region 221 also has corners comprising rounded corners and straight corners. In the second condition, the height of the bottom surface of each of the optimization regions 221 is higher than the height of the bottom surface of the resonator region 220, the height of the top surface of each of the optimization regions 221 is lower than the height of the top surface of the resonator region 220, and the length X between the first side and the second side of each of the optimization regions 221 divided by the thickness Y of the resonator region 220 is equal to A, 0 < A < 5. If the first condition is satisfied, the radius R of each of the rounded corners divided by the thickness Y of the resonator region 220 is equal to B, 0 < B < 4.

Please refer to Figure 7a Figure 7b Figure 7c Figure 7d Figure 7e The sixth embodiment of the resonator package structure 3 is described as follows. The resonator package structure 3 includes a base 30, at least one adhesive 31, a resonator crystal piece 32, and a top cover 33. Two adhesives 31 are taken as an example. The top of the base 30 has a groove 300, and the two adhesives 31 are arranged in the groove 300. The resonator crystal piece 32 includes a resonant region 320 and at least one optimization region 321. Two optimization regions 321 are taken as an example. In some embodiments of the present application, the resonant region 320 and the two optimization regions 321 can be integrally formed. The resonant region 320 and the optimization region 321 can be quartz, but the present application is not limited thereto. The resonant region 320 is in the shape of a rectangle, and the two optimization regions 321 are arranged on the two adhesives 31, respectively. Each optimization region 321 has a first side and a second side parallel to each other and two third sides parallel to each other, and the first side is perpendicular to the third side. The resonant region 320 is located between the two optimization regions 321, and the first side of each optimization region 321 is connected to the two sides of the resonant region 320, respectively. The sixth embodiment satisfies at least one of the first condition and the second condition. In the first condition, the optimization region 321 has at least one fillet. For example, each optimization region 321 has two fillets opposite to each other, and each fillet is connected between the second side and the corresponding third side. In the second condition, the height of the bottom surface of each optimization region 321 is higher than the height of the bottom surface of the resonant region 320, the height of the top surface of each optimization region 321 is lower than the height of the top surface of the resonant region 320, and the length X' between the first side and the second side of each optimization region 321 divided by the thickness Y' of the resonant region 320 is equal to A, 0 < A < 5.

The top cover 33 is arranged on the top of the base 30 to shield the two adhesives 31 and the resonator crystal piece 32. The resonator package structure 3 achieves better boundary effect and energy locking effect according to the width of the optimization region 321, the radius of curvature R' of the fillet, and the thickness Y' of the resonant region 320, thereby reducing the loss of vibration energy and the resonant impedance, and optimizing the vibration characteristics. If A is greater than 5 or B is greater than 4, the resonant impedance will increase sharply. The height difference between the optimization region 321 and the resonant region 320 can block the transmission path of the resonant acoustic wave to prevent energy from spreading out from the resonant region 320. The optimization region 321 cannot be in the shape of a circle or an ellipse. If the optimization region 321 is in the shape of a circle or an ellipse, the resonant spurious wave will be coupled, causing the resonant impedance to increase sharply.
[0055] In order to electrically connect the external elements, the two adhesives 31 can be electrically conductive glue, and the resonator package structure 3 can further include a first electrode layer 34, a second electrode layer 35, two first conductive pads 36 and a plurality of second conductive pads 37. The first electrode layer 34 is arranged on the bottom surface of the resonance region 320 and the optimization region 321, and the second electrode layer 35 is arranged on the top surface of the resonance region 320 and the optimization region 321. The first electrode layer 34 and the second electrode layer 35 correspond to the two optimization regions 321 respectively, and are electrically connected to the two adhesives 31 respectively. The first conductive pads 36 are arranged in the groove 300, and the two adhesives 31 are arranged on the base 30 through the two first conductive pads 36 respectively. The bottom of the base 30 has two conductive through holes 301 penetrating through itself, and the two conductive through holes 301 are electrically connected to the two first conductive pads 36 respectively. All the second conductive pads 37 are arranged on the bottom surface of the base 30, and all the second conductive pads 37 are electrically connected to the two conductive through holes 301 and the external elements.
