Title:
CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR PIECE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2008/117891
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A crystal oscillator piece in which generation of leakage oscillation is suppressed, and its manufacturing method. The method for manufacturing a crystal oscillator piece comprises a step for forming a first etching mask on the surface of a crystal wafer and forming a second etching mask on the backside thereof, dipping the crystal wafer in etching solution, and dissolving the crystal at a part not covered with the first etching mask and the second etching mask to form an oscillation leg, and characterized in that the length of a first projection projecting from a position corresponding to the first end of the first etching mask is set, in the second etching mask, such that the first residue formed on the first side face side becomes constant regardless of positional shift of the first and second etching masks, and the first and second etching masks regulate the second residue formed on the second side face side such that one of two main axes passing the centroid and intersecting a cross-section orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the oscillation leg dynamically and perpendicularly is formed substantially in parallel with the surface or the backside of the crystal wafer.
