Original Abstract Submitted
A vibrator element includes: a plate-shaped vibrating substrate including a first surface and a second surface, which are in a front and back relationship, and including a vibrating portion and a support portion that supports the vibrating portion and has a thickness smaller than that of the vibrating portion; an electrode including a first excitation electrode disposed at the first surface at the vibrating portion, a second excitation electrode disposed at the second surface at the vibrating portion, a first pad electrode disposed at the support portion and electrically coupled to the first excitation electrode, and a second pad electrode disposed at the support portion and electrically coupled to the second excitation electrode; a first metal film disposed at an upper layer on the first pad electrode and having a thickness larger than that of the first pad electrode; and a second metal film disposed at an upper layer on the second pad electrode and having a thickness larger than that of the second pad electrode.
