Abstract

An energy trapping type piezoelectric resonance device utilizing higher-order harmonics of the thickness extensional vibration mode comprising a body formed of a piezoelectric material and three or more electrodes arranged overlapping with each other and separated by the piezoelectric material layers in the direction of thickness of the body, wherein respective portions of the piezoelectric material layers interposed between the electrodes are polarized and at least respective portions of the piezoelectric material layers which are not interposed between the electrodes is polarized.
