Abstract

See full text

A method for fabricating a crystal unit, including a preparing step, a bonding step, and a separating step, is provided. The preparing step prepares a quartz plate and a supporting substrate with a recess that is larger than the vibrating region on a surface of the supporting substrate. The recess corresponds to a vibrating region in the crystal unit. The bonding step bonds the quartz plate to the surface of the supporting substrate such that the quartz plate is separated from the supporting substrate in the recess. The separating step separates the quartz plate into the vibrating region and the framing portion by performing dry etching on the quartz plate such that the quartz plate has a shape that connects the vibrating region to the framing portion via a supporting beam. The framing portion surrounds the vibrating region.
