Abstract

A piezoelectric resonator has a base member formed by laminating a plurality of piezoelectric layers and electrodes. The base member is polarized in different directions at both sides of each electrode. Electrodes are alternately covered by a first insulating film and a second insulating film, respectively, at both sides of a groove formed in the base member. The first insulating film covers electrodes which are not covered by the second insulating film, and vice versa. External electrodes are formed at both sides of the groove on the base member and the internal electrodes are connected to the external electrodes. A support member made from an electrically conductive material is provided at the approximate centers of the external electrodes.
