Unanswered Questions
How does the thickness of the metal films impact the performance of the vibrator element?
The abstract mentions that the metal films have different thicknesses compared to the pad electrodes, but it does not elaborate on the significance of this difference in thickness.
Are there any specific industries or markets where this technology is expected to have the most impact?
While the abstract mentions potential applications in various devices, it does not specify any particular industries or markets where the vibrator element technology is expected to be most beneficial.
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.
