Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of quartz crystal oscillators, and in particular to a high-stability quartz crystal oscillator and electronic equipment thereof. Background Art

[0002] In the design of precision electronic systems, quartz crystal oscillators serve as time reference sources. These include temperature-compensated crystal oscillators (TCXOs) and thermistor resonators. Both TCXOs and thermistor resonators play a crucial role as solutions for optimizing frequency stability in challenging temperature environments. A TCXO is a quartz crystal oscillator that uses an additional temperature compensation circuit to reduce oscillation frequency fluctuations caused by ambient temperature fluctuations. It features a U-shaped package structure, with the temperature compensation circuit and quartz crystal wafer enclosed on the same side of the base. Thermistor resonators are an economical improvement over traditional surface-mount crystal oscillators. By integrating a thermistor and varactor diode, they cleverly combine temperature sensing and frequency adjustment functions. They feature an H-shaped package structure, with the thermistor and quartz crystal wafer enclosed on the top and bottom sides of the base, respectively.

[0003] Related Document 1 discloses a quartz crystal resonator with a thermistor installed, comprising a base, an upper cover, a quartz crystal, and a thermistor. The base has a first inner groove and a second inner groove in the middle of the upper and lower ends, respectively. A dispensing portion is installed on one side of the upper surface of the bottom of the first inner groove, and a plurality of brackets are arranged laterally on the other side. The brackets decrease in height as they move closer to the dispensing portion. The quartz crystal is connected to the dispensing portion via conductive silver glue. A second electrode portion is installed at the bottom of the second inner groove. The second electrode portion is connected to the thermistor via solder. The thermistor is used to detect the temperature of the quartz crystal. The above technology arranges multiple brackets within the base, facilitating the integration of miniaturized chips. It also makes heat conduction faster, greatly improving the temperature hysteresis characteristics of the thermistor quartz crystal resonator and making temperature compensation more accurate.

The extension line passes through the corresponding electrode hole 224, and then forms a lower conductive terminal on the bottom surface of the mounting portion 222. Correspondingly, a pair of second electrodes 210 are provided on the transition base 21, and the pair of second electrodes 210 are electrically connected to the pair of lower conductive terminals.

[0041] 2. About quartz gasket 4 Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 The quartz gasket 4 is located within the packaging cavity 15 and is used to cushion the quartz wafer 8 and the glue dispensing position 14. The structure of the quartz gasket 4 can be adjusted according to actual conditions to meet the cushioning requirements. To further improve the cushioning effect, in one embodiment, the quartz gasket 4 includes a pair of first cushioning portions 5, which are correspondingly arranged with the pair of glue dispensing positions 14.

[0042] The material of the quartz gasket 4 is the same as that of the quartz wafer 8. The pair of first pads 5 and the pair of glue dispensing positions 14 are set in a one-to-one correspondence, that is, the pair of first pads 5 are respectively fixed at the pair of glue dispensing positions 14 to meet the fixing requirements, so as to serve as a support interval for the installation of the quartz wafer 8.

[0043] In this embodiment, a pair of first pads 5 are fixed to the mounting portion 222 and are disposed on both sides of the dividing portion 2221 to correspond to a pair of glue spots 14. The fixing method can be conductive bonding, which can be achieved by conductive silver glue.

[0045] 3. About Quartz Wafers A pair of excitation electrodes are matchedly arranged on the quartz chip 8, and the lead ends of the pair of excitation electrodes are respectively arranged corresponding to the pair of dispensing positions 14, wherein the quartz chip 8 is fixed at the dispensing position 14 through a pair of first padding parts 5 or the second padding parts 6, and the pair of excitation electrodes are respectively conductively connected to the pair of electrodes at the dispensing positions 14.

[0046] In one embodiment, a pair of excitation electrodes can be disposed on opposite sides of the quartz wafer 8, with the lead ends of the pair of excitation electrodes spaced apart and located on the side of the quartz wafer 8 opposite the quartz spacer 4 (i.e., the first pad 5). The pair of excitation electrodes is used to generate a piezoelectric effect on the quartz wafer 8. The excitation electrodes can be made of silver, gold, or a gold-silver alloy, depending on the specific application. In this embodiment, the lead ends of the pair of excitation electrodes are located near the upper conductive ends of the pair of dispensing positions 14, corresponding one-to-one with the upper conductive ends.

[0047] A pair of first pads 5 and the quartz wafer 8 are conductively bonded at the lead-out ends of a pair of excitation electrodes, so that the pair of excitation electrodes are conductively connected to a pair of dispensing positions 14 , thereby leading the pair of excitation electrodes to a pair of second electrodes 210 .

[0048] In this embodiment, the electrical connection between a pair of excitation electrodes and a pair of glue dispensing positions 14 can be achieved by gluing with conductive glue. In order to improve the stability of the installation of the quartz gasket 4 and the quartz wafer 8, in one embodiment, the quartz gasket 4 has a pair of first electrodes, and the pair of first electrodes corresponds one-to-one to the pair of glue dispensing positions 14. Each first electrode includes an upper electrode, a connecting electrode, and a lower electrode connected in sequence in a U shape, and the upper electrode and the lower electrode of each first electrode are respectively arranged on both sides of the quartz gasket 4 along the thickness direction; the electrical connection between the pair of excitation electrodes and the pair of glue dispensing positions 14 can also be achieved through a pair of first electrodes. Exemplarily: a pair of first electrodes are respectively arranged on a pair of first pads 5, the upper electrode of each first electrode is correspondingly connected to the lead-out end of the corresponding excitation electrode, and the lower electrode corresponds one-to-one to the upper conductive end of the electrode at the corresponding glue dispensing position 14.

[0049] In one embodiment, the quartz gasket 4 and the pair of glue spots 14 are fixed by glue dispensing to form a pair of lower glue spots 91 , each of the lower glue spots 91 has a thickness of 15-25 μm, and a diameter of 200-260 μm.

[0050] In the above embodiment, for the pair of first pads 5, a pair of lower glue dots 91 respectively glue and secure the lower electrode of the first pads 5 to the corresponding glue locations. For the second pads 6, a pair of lower glue dots 91 are spaced apart on the second pads and respectively glue and secure the lower electrode of the second pads 6 to the corresponding glue locations. Each lower glue dot 91 has a thickness of 15-25 μm and a diameter of 200-260 μm.

[0051] For example, the thickness of the lower glue dot 91 can be any of 15 μm, 17 μm, 19 μm, 20 μm, 22 μm, 24 μm, and 25 μm. In this embodiment, the thickness of the lower glue dot 91 is set to 20 μm. The diameter of the lower glue dot 91 can be any of 200 μm, 210 μm, 220 μm, 230 μm, 240 μm, 250 μm, and 260 μm. In this embodiment, the thickness of the lower glue dot 91 is set to 230 μm.

[0052] In one embodiment, the quartz gasket 4 and the quartz wafer 8 are fixed by glue dispensing to form a pair of upper glue points 90, each of the upper glue points 90 has a thickness of 7-17 μm, a diameter of each of the upper glue points 90 is 140-180 μm, and the thickness of the lower glue point 91 is greater than the thickness of the upper glue point 90.

[0053] In the above embodiment, for the pair of first pads 5, a pair of upper glue dots 90 respectively glue and secure the upper electrode and the corresponding excitation electrode lead of the first pad 5. For the second pad 6, a pair of upper glue dots 90 are spaced apart on the second pad and respectively glue and secure the upper electrode and the corresponding excitation electrode lead of the second pad 6. The thickness of each upper glue dot 90 is set to 7-17 μm, and the diameter of each upper glue dot 90 is 140-180 μm. The thickness of the lower glue dot 91 is greater than that of the upper glue dot 90.

[0054] For example, the thickness of the lower glue dot 91 can be any of 15 μm, 17 μm, 19 μm, 20 μm, 22 μm, 24 μm, and 25 μm.

In this embodiment, the thickness of the lower glue dot 91 is set to 160 μm.

[0055] Furthermore, when the upper glue point 90 and the lower glue point 91 are set simultaneously, it is comprehensively considered that the thickness of the lower glue point 91 is greater than the thickness of the upper glue point 90 .

[0056] The implementation principle of Example 1 of the present application is as follows: quartz crystal 8 is subjected to an external alternating electric field, generating mechanical vibrations to generate a specific frequency for use as a resonant element. The additional quartz gasket 4 has the same thermal expansion coefficient as quartz crystal 8, effectively reducing the impact of thermal stress on the vibration region of quartz crystal 8. For thermosensitive crystal resonators, under rapid temperature rise conditions (1-5°C / s), this can provide better thermal hysteresis performance for quartz crystal resonators; for temperature-compensated crystal oscillators, under rapid temperature rise conditions (1-5°C / s), this can provide better clock drift performance for temperature-compensated crystal oscillators (TCXOs).

[0058] In one embodiment, the quartz gasket 4 is made of the same material as the quartz wafer 8. The quartz gasket 4 includes a second padding portion 6 and a mounting portion 7. The second padding portion 6 and the mounting portion 7 are integrally formed, and the mounting portion 7 is thinner than the second padding portion 6. In this embodiment, the side of the mounting portion 7 facing away from the glue dispensing position 14 (the top surface of the mounting portion 7) is recessed relative to the second padding portion 6. That is, the bottom surface of the mounting portion 7 (the side of the mounting portion 7 facing the glue dispensing position 14) is flush with the second padding portion 6, and the top surface of the mounting portion 7 is lower than the top surface of the second padding portion 6.

[0059] The second pad portion 6 is provided corresponding to a pair of glue dispensing positions 14 and is used to match and be installed at the glue dispensing positions 14 to meet the fixing requirements, so as to serve as a support interval for the installation of the quartz wafer 8 .

[0060] In this embodiment, the second pad portion 6 is fixed to the mounting portion 222 and is disposed on both sides of the dividing portion 2221 to correspond to a pair of glue dispensing positions 14. The fixing method can be conductive bonding, which can be achieved by conductive silver glue. Figure 2 The conductive bonding between the quartz gasket 4 and the packaging component 1 is the conductive bonding between the quartz gasket 4 and the second base 2 , and the conductive bonding points are a pair of the glue dispensing positions 14 , that is, the upper conductive ends of the pair of glue dispensing positions 14 .

[0061] About the size of quartz spacer 4: In one embodiment, the thickness of the second cushioning portion 6 is 30.4-45.6 μm, and can be any size of 30.4 μm, 35 μm, 37 μm, 40 μm, 41 μm, 43 μm, or 45.6 μm. In this embodiment, the thickness of the second cushioning portion 6 is set to 38 μm.

[0062] In one embodiment, the thickness of the mounting portion 7 is 12-18 μm. For example, it can be any size among 12 μm, 15 μm, and 18 μm. In this embodiment, the thickness of the mounting portion 7 is set to 15 μm.

[0063] In one embodiment, in order to further ensure miniaturization without affecting the vibration of the quartz chip 8, the distance between the mounting portion 7 and the quartz chip 8 is set to achieve the requirements of not affecting the size setting while not affecting the vibration space of the quartz chip 8. The thickness can be fine-tuned by dispensing the thickness.
