Abstract

The object of the present invention is to provide a piezoelectric resonator of which vibration frequency can be accurately adjusted and the adjustment accuracy of the vibration frequency can be improved. The piezoelectric resonator of the present invention includes an vibrating arm extended from a base, and a metal film for adjusting frequency formed along the longitudinal direction from the tip of the vibrating arm, in which the metal film for adjusting frequency is provided with a block pattern divided into a plurality of blocks in compliance with the amount of frequency adjustment. Structuring as above, the frequency adjustment of the piezoelectric resonator is conducted by eliminating the blocks in compliance with the amount of frequency adjustment one by one, which makes it possible to adjust the vibration frequency with accuracy.
