Abstract

Provided are a vacuum package and a method for manufacturing the vacuum package having excellent airtightness and capable of improving mounting strength, and a piezoelectric vibrator, an oscillator, an electronic device, and a radio-controlled timepiece. The package includes a base substrate and a lid substrate bonded to each other, a cavity formed between the base substrate and the lid substrate and configured to be capable of sealing a piezoelectric vibrating reed, and penetration electrodes penetrating through the base substrate in the thickness direction so as to make the inner side of the cavity and the outer side conductive. Portions of the base substrate and the lid substrate in the vicinity of the cavity form bonding regions in which the two substrates are bonded. A notch portion through which the bonding surface of the lid substrate is exposed as seen from the thickness direction of the base substrate is formed on the corner portions of the base substrate.
