Abstract:
The present invention is enabling to easily solder again in soldering of a surface mount type piezoelectric vibrator. An external electrode is formed by an alloy metal of Cr and Ni, namely, NiCr. Further, on the surface of NiCr, an oxidation resistant film for oxidation resistance is formed by a film of Au. Therefore, in the structure of an external electrode, the layer of NiCr is formed on the surface of glass, and further, the layer of Au is formed thereon. In the meantime, NiCr and Au are deposited by spattering (a spatter method) as a film with a low stress. In the external electrode of such a structure, the layer of Au is dispersed in the solder by soldering, however, since Cr in NiCr reduces the diffusion speed of Ni into the solder, Ni is remained in the external terminal. Since Ni is a metal to make the alloy metal with the solder, it is possible to perform soldering again by removing this quartz crystal vibrator.
Abstract:
A method of fabricating a piezoelectric vibrator comprises providing a piezoelectric oscillating plate having a piezoelectric vibrator piece and frame integrally connected to a base end portion of the piezoelectric vibrator piece and surrounding the piezoelectric vibrator piece. A pair of excitation electrodes is disposed on surfaces of two sides of the piezoelectric vibrator piece for vibrating the piezoelectric vibrator piece. Bond films are formed on upper and lower surfaces of the frame and are connected to the excitation electrodes. Shortcircuiting electrodes are disposed on the piezoelectric oscillating plate for causing a shortcircuit to electrically connect the bond films to each other. The piezoelectric vibrator piece is covered to seal the piezoelectric vibrator piece in an airtight manner via the bond films without hampering vibration of the piezoelectric vibrator piece.

The piezoelectric vibrator includes: a package in which a first substrate and a second substrate are superimposed so as to form a cavity therebetween; extraction electrodes which are formed on the first substrate so as to be extracted from the inner side of the cavity to an outer edge of the first substrate; a piezoelectric vibrating reed which is sealed in the cavity and electrically connected to the extraction electrodes at an inner side of the cavity; and outer electrodes which are formed on an outer surface of the package so as to be electrically connected to the extraction electrodes at the outer side of the cavity. The method includes: a bonding film forming step of forming a bonding film on at least one of the first substrate and the second substrate using a low-melting-point glass so as to bond the two substrates; a mounting step of electrically connecting the piezoelectric vibrating reed to the extraction electrodes formed on the first substrate; and a bonding step of superimposing the first substrate and the second substrate onto each other with the bonding film disposed therebetween while heating the bonding film to a predetermined bonding temperature to thereby bond the two substrates by the bonding film.
Abstract:
To provide an improved solderability for mounting an electronic component onto a circuit board, a package of an electronic component (1) is formed by bonding together a base (3) made of glass and a lid (2). Outer electrodes (8) and (18) are formed on a bottom surface of the base (3), and the outer electrodes (8) and (18) are respectively connected to through electrodes (7) and (17). The outer electrodes (8) and (18) each have a laminated structure of three CrAu layers, that is, from a Cr layer (first layer) to an Au layer (sixth layer). When the outer electrodes (8) and (18) are soldered onto a circuit board, the Au layers as the second, fourth, and sixth layers are dissolved into solder, whereas the Cr layers as the third and fifth layers, which hardly form an intermetallic compound with solder, are separated to remain in solder.
