Abstract

See full text

AT-cut quartz-crystal vibrating pieces and corresponding quartz-crystal devices are disclosed each having a vibrating portion surrounded by a frame portion across a through-slot configured to provide a wide vibrating portion. An exemplary vibrating piece has a quartz-crystal vibrating portion that vibrates when electrically energized, a frame portion surrounding the vibrating portion, and a through-slot defined between the vibrating portion and the frame portion. The through-slot includes a first through-slot extending in the X-axis direction along +Z′-edge of the vibrating portion, and a second through-slot extending in the X-axis direction along the −Z′-edge of the vibrating portion. The first through-slot has a different width than the second through-slot.
