Patent ID: 8601656

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a piezoelectric vibrator having a piezoelectric vibrating reed sealed in a cavity between a base substrate and a lid substrate, the method comprising: providing a conductive rivet member including a planar head portion and a core portion extending in a direction vertical to a surface of the head portion; inserting the core portion of the conductive rivet member into a penetration hole in the base substrate and bringing the head portion of the rivet member into contact with a first surface of the base substrate; attaching a laminate tape material having elastic properties to the first surface of the base substrate and covering the head portion; applying a glass frit paste on a second surface of the base substrate and filling the glass frit paste in the penetration hole, while holding the head portion to the first surface of the base substrate with the laminate tape material; and baking and curing the glass frit paste to solidify the paste.
