Application: Method for manufacturing oscillator (Patent ID: US20240106393A1)

The patent filed by Seiko Epson Corp. describes a method for manufacturing oscillators of different types, including a first oscillator and a second oscillator. The process involves mounting resonator elements and circuit elements to specific containers to generate oscillation signals. The first oscillator includes a resonator element and circuit element mounted to a container, with a second resonator element whose frequency is controlled based on the first oscillation signal. Similarly, the second oscillator involves mounting different resonator and circuit elements to a container, with a fourth resonator element whose frequency is controlled based on the second oscillation signal.

Additionally, the method includes specific steps for mounting components in containers, such as recessed portions in the containers for different elements. The process also involves the use of heater circuits to heat the resonator elements in both the first and second oscillators. The resonator elements used in the oscillators are specified to be SC-cut or AT-cut quartz crystal resonator elements. Furthermore, the method outlines the manufacturing of a third oscillator with similar components and steps as the first oscillator, emphasizing the reproducibility and scalability of the manufacturing process for different types of oscillators.
