[0001] This invention relates to the field of electronic components, specifically to a method for manufacturing a high-temperature resistant, high-precision quartz crystal oscillator. Background Technology

[0002] A quartz crystal oscillator is an electronic component that uses the piezoelectric effect of quartz crystals to generate frequency signals. It features high precision, high stability, small size, and light weight. It can generate oscillation signals with precise frequencies in circuits and is an indispensable component in various electronic devices. It is widely used in many fields such as communication networks, industrial control, automotive electronics, instrumentation, and military equipment.

[0003] Currently, the manufacturing methods for quartz crystal oscillators can mass-produce quartz crystal oscillators with an operating temperature range of -55℃ to +125℃, meeting the requirements of most fields. However, in special fields such as lunar surface exploration and deep Earth exploration, high-temperature resistant and high-precision quartz crystal oscillators with an operating temperature range of -65℃ to +200℃ are required. However, there is currently no directly applicable process for the processing and manufacturing of high-temperature resistant and high-precision quartz crystal oscillators, which is still a research gap. Therefore, a manufacturing method for high-temperature resistant and high-precision quartz crystal oscillators is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0013] Phase Four: Electrical Installation of Open Oscillators

[0014] First, the 200℃ ultra-high temperature quartz crystal oscillator and the 200℃ ultra-high temperature oscillation circuit are bonded together with the 200℃ ultra-high temperature conductive adhesive, and then cured to obtain an open oscillator for later use.

[0015] Phase 5: Frequency tuning and baking of the open oscillator

[0016] First, fine-tune the open oscillator to obtain the required frequency, then bake it at high temperature and remove it for later use;
