Definitions
- the present invention relates to a surface mount type (SMD) piezoelectric vibrator in which a piezoelectric vibrating piece is sealed in a cavity formed between two bonded substrates, and a piezoelectric vibrator for manufacturing the piezoelectric vibrator.
- SMD surface mount type
- the present invention relates to a manufacturing method, an oscillator having a piezoelectric vibrator, an electronic device, and a radio timepiece.
- a piezoelectric vibrator using crystal or the like is used as a timing source such as a time source or a control signal, a reference signal source, or the like in a mobile phone or a portable information terminal.
- Various piezoelectric vibrators of this type are known, and one of them is a surface-mount type piezoelectric vibrator.
- this type of piezoelectric vibrator a three-layer structure type in which a piezoelectric substrate on which a piezoelectric vibrating piece is formed is joined so as to be sandwiched from above and below by a base substrate and a lid substrate is known. In this case, the piezoelectric vibrator is housed in a cavity (sealed chamber) formed between the base substrate and the lid substrate.
- a two-layer structure type has been developed instead of the three-layer structure type described above.
- This type of piezoelectric vibrator has a two-layer structure in which a base substrate and a lid substrate are directly bonded, and a piezoelectric vibrating piece is accommodated in a cavity formed between the two substrates.
- This two-layer structure type piezoelectric vibrator is excellent in that it can be made thinner than the three-layer structure, and is preferably used.
- a piezoelectric vibrating piece and an external electrode formed on the base substrate are made conductive by using a conductive member formed so as to penetrate the base substrate. Piezoelectric vibrators are known (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 to 4).
- the piezoelectric vibrator 300 includes a base substrate 301 and a lid substrate 302 that are anodically bonded to each other via a bonding film 307, and a cavity C formed between the substrates 301 and 302. And a piezoelectric vibrating piece 303 sealed inside.
- the piezoelectric vibrating piece 303 is, for example, a tuning fork type vibrating piece, and is mounted on the upper surface of the base substrate 301 in the cavity C via the conductive adhesive E.
- the base substrate 301 and the lid substrate 302 are insulating substrates made of, for example, ceramic or glass.
- a through hole 304 penetrating the base substrate 301 is formed in the base substrate 301 of the two substrates 301 and 302.
- a conductive member 305 is embedded in the through hole 304 so as to close the through hole 304.
- the conductive member 305 is electrically connected to the external electrode 306 formed on the lower surface of the base substrate 301 and is electrically connected to the piezoelectric vibrating piece 303 mounted in the cavity C.
- the conductive member 305 closes the through-hole 304 to maintain airtightness in the cavity C, and electrically connects the piezoelectric vibrating piece 303 and the external electrode 306. It plays a big role. In particular, if the close contact with the through hole 304 is insufficient, the airtightness in the cavity C may be impaired, and if the contact with the conductive adhesive E or the external electrode 306 is insufficient, The malfunction of the piezoelectric vibrating piece 303 will be caused.
- Patent Documents 1 to 4 describe that the conductive member 305 is formed of a conductive paste (Ag paste, Au—Sn paste, etc.), how to actually form it, etc. No specific manufacturing method is described.
- a conductive paste Asg paste, Au—Sn paste, etc.
- it needs to be baked and cured. That is, after the conductive paste is embedded in the through hole 304, it is necessary to perform baking and cure.
- organic matter contained in the conductive paste disappears due to evaporation, and thus the volume after firing usually decreases compared to before firing (for example, when an Ag paste is used as the conductive paste) The volume is reduced by about 20%).
- the through hole may be opened at the center.
- airtightness in the cavity C is impaired, or electrical conductivity between the piezoelectric vibrating piece 303 and the external electrode 306 is impaired.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a surface mount type piezoelectric vibrator, a method of manufacturing the piezoelectric vibrator, an oscillator having the piezoelectric vibrator, an electronic device, and a radio timepiece.
- the present invention provides the following means in order to solve the above problems.
- the piezoelectric vibrator according to the present invention uses a base substrate, a lid substrate formed with a cavity recess, and the lid substrate bonded to the base substrate with the recess facing the base substrate, and the recess.
- the through-hole electrode formed so as to penetrate the base substrate, maintaining airtightness in the cavity, and electrically connected to the external electrode, and the upper surface of the base substrate and bonded thereto
- a lead electrode for electrically connecting the through electrode to the piezoelectric vibrating piece, and the through electrode includes a plurality of metal fine particles and a plurality of glass beads. It is characterized in that it is formed by curing the paste material.
- the piezoelectric vibrator according to the present invention uses a base substrate and a lid substrate formed with a cavity recess, the lid substrate bonded to the base substrate with the recess facing the base substrate, and the recess.
- a piezoelectric vibrating piece bonded to the upper surface of the base substrate in a state of being accommodated in a cavity formed between the base substrate and the lid substrate; and an external electrode formed on the lower surface of the base substrate; Formed through the base substrate to maintain airtightness in the cavity and electrically connected to the external electrodes, and formed on and bonded to the upper surface of the base substrate.
- a lead electrode for electrically connecting the through electrode to the piezoelectric vibrating piece, and the through electrode includes a plurality of metal fine particles and a plurality of glass beads. It is characterized by being formed by curing glass frit containing a's.
- the piezoelectric vibrator manufacturing method includes a piezoelectric vibrator in which a piezoelectric vibrating piece is sealed in a cavity formed between a base substrate and a lid substrate that are bonded to each other. Forming a plurality of cavity recesses for forming the cavity when both wafers are superimposed on the lid substrate wafer.
- a base electrode forming step for forming a plurality of through electrodes penetrating the wafer by using a paste material containing a plurality of metal fine particles and a plurality of glass beads on the base substrate wafer, and for the base substrate
- a routing electrode forming step for forming a plurality of routing electrodes electrically connected to the through electrodes on the upper surface of the wafer, and a plurality of the piezoelectric vibrating pieces
- the through electrode forming step includes a through hole forming step of forming a plurality of through holes penetrating the base substrate wafer, and the plurality of through holes. It is characterized a filling step of closing the through hole by filling the paste material, a firing step of curing by baking implanted paste material at a predetermined temperature, in that it comprises within.
- a piezoelectric vibrator in which a piezoelectric vibrating piece is sealed in a cavity formed between a base substrate and a lid substrate bonded to each other is provided. Forming a plurality of cavity recesses for forming the cavity when both wafers are superimposed on the lid substrate wafer.
- a recess forming step of forming a plurality of cavity recesses on the lid substrate wafer is performed. These recesses are recesses that become cavities when the two wafers are overlapped later.
- a through hole forming step of forming a plurality of through holes penetrating the wafer in the base substrate wafer is performed.
- a filling step of filling the plurality of through holes with a paste material or glass frit without gaps to close the through holes is performed.
- a firing process is performed in which the filled paste material or glass frit is fired and cured at a predetermined temperature. As a result, the paste material or glass frit is firmly fixed to the inner surface of the through hole.
- the paste material or the glass frit contains an organic substance, and this organic substance evaporates when fired. Therefore, when the paste material or the glass frit is fired, the volume is reduced as compared with that before firing. Therefore, if a simple paste material or glass frit that does not contain glass beads is embedded in the through hole and then fired, a large dent is generated on the surface of the paste material or glass frit.
- a paste material or glass frit containing a plurality of glass beads is used. Therefore, after the filling step, a plurality of glass beads are embedded in the through hole together with the paste material or the glass frit.
- the amount of paste material or glass frit can be reduced by the amount of glass beads compared to the case where the inside of the through hole is filled with only the paste material or glass frit. That is, the amount of paste material or glass frit used can be reduced as much as possible. Therefore, even if the organic substance in the paste material or glass frit evaporates due to the firing process, the amount of the paste material or glass frit itself is much smaller than before, so the effect of the volume reduction of the paste material or glass frit is small. Therefore, the dents on the surface appearing after the paste material or glass frit is cured are so small as to be negligible. Therefore, the surface of the base substrate wafer and the surface of the cured paste material or glass frit are substantially flush.

Moreover, since the airtightness in the cavity C can be reliably maintained, the quality can be improved also in this respect. In addition, since the through electrodes 32 and 33 can be formed by a simple method using the paste P, the process can be simplified.

- the thermal expansion coefficient of the glass beads P1 when the thermal expansion coefficient of the glass beads P1 is larger than the thermal expansion coefficient of the base substrate wafer 40, the amount of expansion by which the peripheral portions of the through holes 30 and 31 are pushed from the inside by the glass beads P1 in the paste P is It becomes larger than the expansion amount for expanding the diameters of the holes 30 and 31. For this reason, a load is applied to the peripheral portions of the through holes 30 and 31, and cracks and the like are generated.
- the thermal expansion coefficient of the glass beads P1 contained in the paste P is substantially equal to the thermal expansion coefficient of the base substrate wafer 40, and the glass beads P1 in the paste P and the base substrate wafer 40 are subjected to a baking process.

Therefore, a gap can be secured between the glass beads P1 after the glass beads P1 are brought into contact with each other. Therefore, even if the glass beads P1 are filled in the through holes 30 and 31 as much as possible, the metal fine particles are transferred from one surface side of the base substrate 2 to the other surface side by using the gap secured between the glass beads P1.

- the shape of the metal fine particle P2 may be another shape.
- it may be spherical.
- the metal fine particles P2 are in contact with each other, they are in point contact, so that electrical continuity can be similarly secured.
- the non-spherical metal fine particle P2 like a long and thin fiber shape, it is likely to be a line contact rather than a point contact when contacting each other. Therefore, since the electrical continuity of the through electrodes 32 and 33 can be further improved, it is preferable to use the paste P containing the non-spherical metal fine particles P2 rather than the spherical shape.
- a strip shape shown in FIG. 18A or a corrugated shape shown in FIG. 18B may be used, as shown in FIG. 18C.

Therefore, even if a baking process is performed, volume reduction of the paste P can be suppressed as much as possible. Therefore, the surface of the base substrate wafer 40 after the baking step and the surface of the hardened paste P are more flush with each other. Thereby, more stable electrical conductivity between the piezoelectric vibrating reed 4 and the external electrodes 38 and 39 can be ensured, and higher quality can be achieved.

Abstract
Description
ベース基板301およびリッド基板302は、例えばセラミックやガラスなどからなる絶縁基板である。両基板301、302のうちベース基板301には、ベース基板301を貫通するスルーホール304が形成されている。そして、このスルーホール304内には、スルーホール304を塞ぐように導電部材305が埋め込まれている。この導電部材305は、ベース基板301の下面に形成された外部電極306に電気的に接続されているとともに、キャビティC内にマウントされている圧電振動片303に電気的に接続されている。
一般的に導電ペーストを使用する場合には、焼成して硬化させる必要がある。つまり、スルーホール304内に導電ペーストを埋め込んだ後、焼成を行って硬化させる必要がある。ところが、焼成を行うと、導電ペーストに含まれる有機物が蒸発により消失してしまうため、通常、焼成後の体積が焼成前に比べて減少してしまう(例えば、導電ペーストとしてAgペーストを用いた場合には、体積が略20%程度減少してしまう)。そのため、導電ペーストを利用して導電部材305を形成したとしても、表面に凹みが発生してしまったり、酷い場合には貫通孔が中心に開いてしまったりする虞がある。
その結果、キャビティC内の気密が損なわれたり、圧電振動片303と外部電極306との導通性が損なわれたりする可能性があった。
本発明に係る圧電振動子は、ベース基板と、キャビティ用の凹部が形成され、前記凹部を前記ベース基板に対向させた状態で前記ベース基板に接合されたリッド基板と、前記凹部を利用して前記ベース基板と前記リッド基板との間に形成されたキャビティ内に収納された状態で、ベース基板の上面に接合された圧電振動片と、前記ベース基板の下面に形成された外部電極と、前記ベース基板を貫通するように形成され、前記キャビティ内の気密を維持するとともに、前記外部電極に対してそれぞれ電気的に接続された貫通電極と、前記ベース基板の上面に形成され、接合された前記圧電振動片に対して前記貫通電極をそれぞれ電気的に接続させる引き回し電極と、を備え、前記貫通電極は、複数の金属微粒子および複数のガラスビーズを含んだペースト材の硬化により形成されていることを特徴としている。
また、上記工程と同時或いは前後のタイミングで、ベース基板用ウエハに、複数の金属微粒子および複数のガラスビーズを含んだペースト材またはガラスフリットを利用して、貫通電極を複数形成する貫通電極形成工程を行う。この際、後に両ウエハを重ね合わせたときに、リッド基板用ウエハに形成した凹部内に収まるように貫通電極を複数形成する。
しかしながら、本発明では複数のガラスビーズが含まれたペースト材またはガラスフリットを利用している。したがって、充填工程の後、貫通孔内にはペースト材またはガラスフリットとともにガラスビーズも複数埋め込まれた状態となっている。よって、ペースト材またはガラスフリットだけで貫通孔内を埋める場合と比べて、ガラスビーズの分だけペースト材またはガラスフリットの量を少なくすることができる。つまり、使用するペースト材またはガラスフリットの量をできるだけ少なくすることができる。そのため、焼成工程によってペースト材またはガラスフリット内の有機物が蒸発したとしても、ペースト材またはガラスフリットの量そのものが従来より遥かに少ないので、ペースト材またはガラスフリットの体積減少の影響はわずかである。よって、ペースト材またはガラスフリットの硬化後に現れる表面の凹みは無視できるほど小さい。したがって、ベース基板用ウエハの表面と硬化したペースト材またはガラスフリットの表面とが、ほぼ面一な状態となる。
この焼成工程を行うことで、貫通電極形成工程が終了する。なお、ペースト材またはガラスフリットに含まれる複数の金属微粒子が互いに接触し合っていることで、貫通電極の電気導通性が確保されている。
特に貫通電極は、上述したように、ベース基板用ウエハの上面に対してほぼ面一な状態となっている。そのため、ベース基板用ウエハの上面にパターニングされた引き回し電極は、間に隙間等を発生させることなく貫通電極に対して密着した状態で接する。これにより、引き回し電極と貫通電極との導通性を確実なものにすることができる。
次に、重ね合わせた両ウエハを接合する接合工程を行う。これにより、両ウエハが強固に密着するので、圧電振動片をキャビティ内に封止することができる。この際、ベース基板用ウエハに形成された貫通孔は、貫通電極によって塞がれているので、キャビティ内の気密が貫通孔を通じて損なわれることがない。特に、貫通電極を構成するペースト材またはガラスフリットは、貫通孔の内面に強固に密着しているため、キャビティ内の気密を確実に維持することができる。
この場合も引き回し電極の形成時と同様に、ベース基板用ウエハの下面に対して貫通電極がほぼ面一な状態となっているため、パターニングされた外部電極は、間に隙間などを発生させることなく貫通電極に対して密着した状態で接する。これにより、外部電極と貫通電極との導通性を確実なものにすることができる。この工程により、外部電極を利用して、キャビティ内に封止された圧電振動片を作動させることができる。
最後に、接合されたベース基板用ウエハおよびリッド基板用ウエハを切断して、複数の圧電振動子に小片化する切断工程を行う。
特に、ベース基板に対してほぼ面一な状態で貫通電極を形成できるので、この貫通電極を、引き回し電極および外部電極に対して確実に密着させることができる。その結果、圧電振動片と外部電極との安定した導通性を確保することができ、作動性能の信頼性を向上して、高品質化を図ることができる。また、キャビティ内の気密に関しても確実に維持することができるので、この点においても高品質化を図ることができる。加えて、ペースト材またはガラスフリットを利用した簡単な方法で貫通電極を形成できるので、工程の簡素化を図ることができる。
これにより、圧電振動片と外部電極とのより安定した導通性を確保することができ、一層の高品質化を図ることができる。
このように、筒体を構成するガラスフリットまたはペースト材に容易に入手可能なガラスビーズを混合させるだけで、充填材を安価に構成することができるとともに、筒体としての機能を確実に発揮することができ、貫通孔内に気密性を確保した貫通電極を形成することができる。
このように構成することで、芯材部と、筒体を構成するガラスフリットまたはペースト材と、このガラスフリットまたはペースト材よりも硬度の高い粒状体とが混合された充填材と、を貫通孔に配置し、焼成した後に、ベース基板および貫通電極の表面に研磨を施しても、筒体の硬度がベース基板の硬度と略同一になっているため、筒体が余分に研磨されることを抑制することができる。つまり、その後圧電振動片と貫通電極とを電気的に接続するために引き回し電極をベース基板の上面に形成する際に、精度良く引き回し電極を形成することができ、断線などの発生を抑制することができる。したがって、圧電振動片と外部電極との安定した導通性を確保した高品質な2層構造式表面実装型の圧電振動子を提供することができる。
また、焼成後に鋲体の土台部およびこの土台部が配置されたベース基板の第1面を研削・研磨して、鋲体の芯材部が露出するようにする研削・研磨することにより、充填材(筒体)および芯材部を位置決めする役割を果たしていた土台部を除去することができ、芯材部のみを筒体の内部に残すことができる。また、筒体の硬度が、ベース基板の硬度に近づくように構成されているため、研磨時に筒体が余分に研磨されるのを抑制することができる。この結果、筒体と芯材部とが一体的に固定された貫通電極を得ることができる。つまり、キャビティ内の気密を確実に維持するとともに、圧電振動片と外部電極との安定した導通性を確保した高品質な2層構造式表面実装型の圧電振動子を製造することができる。
この結果、筒体と芯材部とが一体的に固定された貫通電極を得ることができる。
さらに、本発明に係る電子機器は、上述した圧電振動子が、計時部に電気的に接続されていることを特徴としている。
そして、本発明に係る電波時計は、上述した圧電振動子が、フィルタ部に電気的に接続されていることを特徴としている。
また、本発明に係る圧電振動子の製造方法によれば、上述した圧電振動子を一度に効率良く製造することができ、低コスト化を図ることができる。
また、本発明に係る発振器、電子機器および電波時計によれば、上述した圧電振動子を備えているので、同様に作動の信頼性を高めて高品質化を図ることができる。
さらに、本発明に係る圧電振動子によれば、芯材部と、筒体を構成するガラスフリットまたはペースト材と、このガラスフリットまたはペースト材よりも硬度の高い粒状体とが混合された充填材と、を貫通孔に配置した後に焼成しても充填材に気泡などが発生せず、体積減少を抑制することができる。また、芯材部は導電ペーストではなく棒状部材であるため、焼成時に体積減少することはない。したがって、貫通孔内に気密性を確保した貫通電極を形成することができる。つまり、キャビティ内の気密を確実に維持するとともに、圧電振動片と外部電極との安定した導通性を確保した高品質な2層構造式表面実装型の圧電振動子を提供することができる。

以下、本発明に係る圧電振動子の第一実施形態を、図1~図18を参照して説明する。
図1~図4に示すように、本実施形態の圧電振動子1は、ベース基板2とリッド基板3とで2層に積層された箱状に形成されており、内部のキャビティC内に圧電振動片4が収納された表面実装型の圧電振動子1である。なお、図4においては、図面を見易くするために後述する励振電極15、引き出し電極19,20、マウント電極16,17および重り金属膜21の図示を省略している。
この圧電振動片4は、平行に配置された一対の振動腕部10,11と、この一対の振動腕部10,11の基端側を一体的に固定する基部12と、一対の振動腕部10,11の外表面上に形成されて一対の振動腕部10,11を振動させる第1の励振電極13と第2の励振電極14とからなる励振電極15と、第1の励振電極13および第2の励振電極14に電気的に接続されたマウント電極16,17とを有している。
また、本実施形態の圧電振動片4は、一対の振動腕部10,11の両主面上に、この振動腕部10,11の長手方向に沿ってそれぞれ形成された溝部18を備えている。この溝部18は、振動腕部10,11の基端側から略中間付近まで形成されている。
なお、上述した励振電極15、マウント電極16,17および引き出し電極19,20は、例えば、クロム(Cr)、ニッケル(Ni)、アルミニウム(Al)やチタン(Ti)などの導電性膜の被膜により形成されたものである。
ベース基板2には、このベース基板2を貫通する一対のスルーホール(貫通孔)30,31が形成されている。この際、一対のスルーホール30,31は、キャビティC内に収まるように形成されている。より詳しく説明すると、本実施形態のスルーホール30,31は、マウントされた圧電振動片4の基部12側に対応した位置に一方のスルーホール30が形成され、振動腕部10,11の先端側に対応した位置に他方のスルーホール31が形成されている。また、本実施形態では、ベース基板2の下面に向かって漸次径が2段階に分かれて縮径する断面テーパ状のスルーホールを例に挙げて説明するが、この場合に限られず、漸次径が連続的に縮径するスルーホールでもかまわないし、ベース基板2を真っ直ぐに貫通するスルーホールでも構わない。いずれにしても、ベース基板2を貫通していれば良い。
より詳しく説明すると、一方の引き回し電極36は、圧電振動片4の基部12の真下に位置するように一方の貫通電極32の真上に形成されている。また、他方の引き回し電極37は、一方の引き回し電極36に隣接した位置から、振動腕部10,11に沿ってこの振動腕部10,11の先端側に引き回しされた後、他方の貫通電極33の真上に位置するように形成されている。
そして、これら一対の引き回し電極36,37上にそれぞれバンプBが形成されており、このバンプBを利用して圧電振動片4がマウントされている。これにより、圧電振動片4の一方のマウント電極16が、一方の引き回し電極36を介して一方の貫通電極32に導通し、他方のマウント電極17が、他方の引き回し電極37を介して他方の貫通電極33に導通するようになっている。
なお、貫通孔形成工程では、加工方法としてサンドブラスト法などを用いて、漸次径が連続的に縮径するスルーホールを形成しても構わないし、ベース基板用ウエハ40を真っ直ぐに貫通するスルーホールを形成しても構わない。
なお、一般にガラスの融点は、金属微粒子の焼成温度より高いため、焼成工程の際にガラスビーズP1が融解することはない。したがって、焼成工程の前後でガラスビーズP1の体積が変化することはない。
この焼成工程を行うことで、貫通電極形成工程が終了する。
特に、貫通電極32,33は上述したように、ベース基板用ウエハ40の上面に対して略面一な状態となっている。そのため、ベース基板用ウエハ40の上面にパターニングされた引き回し電極36,37は、間に隙間などを発生させることなく貫通電極32,33に対して密着した状態で接する。これにより、一方の引き回し電極36と一方の貫通電極32との導通性、並びに、他方の引き回し電極37と他方の貫通電極33との導通性を確実なものにすることができる。この時点で第2のウエハ作製工程が終了する。
特に、圧電振動片4は、バンプ接合されるため、ベース基板用ウエハ40の上面から浮いた状態で支持される。
ところで、陽極接合を行う際、ベース基板用ウエハ40に形成されたスルーホール30,31は、貫通電極32,33によって完全に塞がれているため、キャビティC内の気密がスルーホール30,31を通じて損なわれることがない。特に、貫通電極32,33を構成するペーストPは、スルーホール30,31の内面に強固に密着しているため、キャビティC内の気密を確実に維持することができる。
特に、この工程を行う場合も引き回し電極36,37の形成時と同様に、ベース基板用ウエハ40の下面に対して貫通電極32,33が略面一な状態となっているため、パターニングされた外部電極38,39は、間に隙間などを発生させることなく貫通電極32,33に対して密着した状態で接する。これにより、外部電極38,39と貫通電極32,33との導通性を確実なものにすることができる。
なお、切断工程(S90)を行って個々の圧電振動子1に小片化した後に、微調工程(S80)を行う工程順序でも構わない。但し、上述したように、微調工程(S80)を先に行うことで、ウエハ体60の状態で微調を行うことができるため、複数の圧電振動子1をより効率よく微調することができる。よって、スループットの向上を図ることができるため好ましい。
ところで、焼成工程の際に、ガラスビーズP1およびベース基板用ウエハ40は、ペーストPとともに加熱されることで、それぞれの熱膨張係数にしたがって膨張する。即ち、ペーストP内のガラスビーズP1は、ベース基板用ウエハ40のスルーホール30,31の周縁部分を内側から押し出すように膨張する。そして、ベース基板用ウエハ40は、スルーホール30,31の径を拡張させるように膨張する。したがって、例えばガラスビーズP1の熱膨張係数がベース基板用ウエハ40の熱膨張係数より大きい場合は、ペーストP内のガラスビーズP1によりスルーホール30,31の周縁部分を内側から押し出す膨張量が、スルーホール30,31の径を拡張させる膨張量よりも大きくなる。このため、スルーホール30,31の周縁部分に負荷がかかり、クラックなどが発生してしまう。
しかしながら、ペーストPに含まれるガラスビーズP1の熱膨張係数は、ベース基板用ウエハ40の熱膨張係数と略等しく、焼成工程の際に、ペーストP内のガラスビーズP1とベース基板用ウエハ40との膨張量が略等しくなるため、上述した現象が発生する虞はない。これにより、ベース基板用ウエハ40にクラックなどが発生することを防止でき、圧電振動子1の高品質化を図ることが可能になる。
なお、金属微粒子P2を非球形とする場合には、例えば、図18(a)に示す短冊状や、図18(b)に示す波型状にしても構わないし、図18(c)に示す断面星型や、図18(d)に示す断面十字型でも構わない。
次に、本発明に係る圧電振動子の第二実施形態を、図19~図26を参照して説明する。なお、本実施形態は、第一実施形態と貫通電極の構成が異なるのみであり、その他の構成は第一実施形態と略同一であるため、同一箇所には同一符号を付して詳細な説明は省略する。
図19に示すように、本実施形態の圧電振動子1は、ベース基板2とリッド基板3とで2層に積層された箱状に形成されており、内部のキャビティC内に圧電振動片4が収納された表面実装型の圧電振動子である。
このベース基板2には、このベース基板2を貫通する一対のスルーホール(貫通孔)230,231が形成されている。この際、一対のスルーホール230,231は、キャビティC内に収まるように形成されている。より詳しく説明すると、本実施形態のスルーホール230,231は、マウントされた圧電振動片4の基部12側に対応した位置に一方のスルーホール230が形成され、振動腕部10、11の先端側に対応した位置に他方のスルーホール231が形成されている。また、本実施形態では、ベース基板2の下面から上面に向かって漸次径が縮径した断面テーパ状のスルーホールを例に挙げて説明するが、この場合に限られず、ベース基板2を真っ直ぐに貫通するスルーホールでも構わない。いずれにしても、ベース基板2を貫通していれば良い。
なお、貫通電極232,233は、導電性の芯材部207を通して電気導通性が確保されている。
さらに、土台部208は、平板状に形成されているため、セット工程後、次に行う焼成工程までの間に、ベース基板用ウエハ40を机上等の平面上に載置したとしても、がたつきなどがなく、安定する。この点においても、作業性の向上を図ることができる。
特に、貫通電極232,233は、上述したようにベース基板用ウエハ40の上面に対して略面一な状態となっている。そのため、ベース基板用ウエハ40の上面にパターニングされた引き回し電極36,37は、間に隙間などを発生させることなく貫通電極232,233に対して密着した状態で接する。これにより、一方の引き回し電極36と一方の貫通電極232との導通性、並びに、他方の引き回し電極37と他方の貫通電極233との導通性を確実なものにすることができる。この時点で第2のウエハ作製工程が終了する。
特に、圧電振動片4は、バンプ接合されるため、ベース基板用ウエハ40の上面から浮いた状態で支持される。
特に、この工程を行う場合も引き回し電極36,37の形成時と同様に、ベース基板用ウエハ40の下面に対して貫通電極232,233が略面一な状態となっているため、パターニングされた外部電極38,39は、間に隙間などを発生させることなく貫通電極232,233に対して密着した状態で接する。これにより、外部電極38,39と貫通電極232,233との導通性を確実なものにすることができる。
なお、切断工程(S90)を行って個々の圧電振動子1に小片化した後に、微調工程(S80)を行う工程順序でも構わない。但し、上述したように、微調工程(S80)を先に行うことで、ウエハ体60の状態で微調を行うことができるため、複数の圧電振動子1をより効率良く微調することができる。よって、スループットの向上化を図ることができるため好ましい。
また、本実施形態の製造方法によれば、上記圧電振動子1を一度に複数製造することができるため、低コスト化を図ることができる。
次に、本発明に係る発振器の一実施形態について、図27を参照しながら説明する。
本実施形態の発振器100は、図27に示すように、圧電振動子1を、集積回路101に電気的に接続された発振子として構成したものである。この発振器100は、コンデンサなどの電子部品102が実装された基板103を備えている。基板103には、発振器用の上記集積回路101が実装されており、この集積回路101の近傍に、圧電振動子1が実装されている。これら電子部品102、集積回路101および圧電振動子1は、図示しない配線パターンによってそれぞれ電気的に接続されている。なお、各構成部品は、図示しない樹脂によりモールドされている。
また、集積回路101の構成を、例えば、RTC(リアルタイムクロック)モジュールなどを要求に応じて選択的に設定することで、時計用単機能発振器などの他、当該機器や外部機器の動作日や時刻を制御したり、時刻やカレンダーなどを提供したりする機能を付加することができる。
次に、本発明に係る電子機器の一実施形態について、図28を参照して説明する。なお電子機器として、上述した圧電振動子1を有する携帯情報機器110を例にして説明する。
始めに本実施形態の携帯情報機器110は、例えば、携帯電話に代表されるものであり、従来技術における腕時計を発展、改良したものである。外観は腕時計に類似し、文字盤に相当する部分に液晶ディスプレイを配し、この画面上に現在の時刻などを表示させることができるものである。また、通信機として利用する場合には、手首から外し、バンドの内側部分に内蔵されたスピーカおよびマイクロフォンによって、従来技術の携帯電話と同様の通信を行うことが可能である。しかしながら、従来の携帯電話と比較して、格段に小型化及び軽量化されている。
無線部117は、音声データなどの各種データを、アンテナ125を介して基地局と送受信のやりとりを行う。音声処理部118は、無線部117または増幅部120から入力された音声信号を符号化および複号化する。増幅部120は、音声処理部118又は音声入出力部121から入力された信号を、所定のレベルまで増幅する。音声入出力部121は、スピーカやマイクロフォンなどからなり、着信音や受話音声を拡声したり、音声を集音したりする。
なお、呼制御メモリ部124は、通信の発着呼制御に係るプログラムを格納する。また、電話番号入力部122は、例えば、0から9の番号キーおよびその他のキーを備えており、これら番号キーなどを押下することにより、通話先の電話番号などが入力される。
なお、通信部114の機能に係る部分の電源を、選択的に遮断することができる電源遮断部126を備えることで、通信部114の機能をより確実に停止することができる。
次に、本発明に係る電波時計の一実施形態について、図29を参照して説明する。
本実施形態の電波時計130は、図29に示すように、フィルタ部131に電気的に接続された圧電振動子1を備えたものであり、時計情報を含む標準の電波を受信して、正確な時刻に自動修正して表示する機能を備えた時計である。
日本国内には、福島県(40kHz)と佐賀県(60kHz)とに、標準の電波を送信する送信所(送信局)があり、それぞれ標準電波を送信している。40kHz若しくは60kHzのような長波は、地表を伝播する性質と、電離層と地表とを反射しながら伝播する性質とを併せもつため、伝播範囲が広く、上述した2つの送信所で日本国内を全て網羅している。
アンテナ132は、40kHz若しくは60kHzの長波の標準電波を受信する。長波の標準電波は、タイムコードと呼ばれる時刻情報を、40kHz若しくは60kHzの搬送波にAM変調をかけたものである。受信された長波の標準電波は、アンプ133によって増幅され、複数の圧電振動子1を有するフィルタ部131によって濾波、同調される。
本実施形態における圧電振動子1は、上記搬送周波数と同一の40kHzおよび60kHzの共振周波数を有する水晶振動子部138、139をそれぞれ備えている。
続いて、波形整形回路135を介してタイムコードが取り出され、CPU136でカウントされる。CPU136では、現在の年、積算日、曜日、時刻などの情報を読み取る。読み取られた情報は、RTC137に反映され、正確な時刻情報が表示される。
搬送波は、40kHz若しくは60kHzであるから、水晶振動子部138、139は、上述した音叉型の構造を持つ振動子が好適である。
例えば、上記実施形態では、スルーホールの形状を断面テーパ状の円錐形状に形成したが、断面テーパ状ではなくストレート形状の円柱形状にしてもよい。
また、上記実施形態では、音叉型の圧電振動片4を例に挙げて説明したが、音叉型に限られるものではない。例えば、厚み滑り振動片としても構わない。
また、上記実施形態では、圧電振動片4をバンプ接合したが、バンプ接合に限定されるものではない。例えば、導電性接着剤により圧電振動片4を接合しても構わない。但し、バンプ接合することで、圧電振動片4をベース基板2の上面から浮かすことができ、振動に必要な最低限の振動ギャップを自然と確保することができる。よって、バンプ接合することが好ましい。
