ABSTRACT:
A crystal unit comprises an AT-cut crystal blank, and an excitation electrode formed on each of opposing main surfaces of the crystal blank in an oscillation region of the crystal blank. The ratio b/a is 0.014 or less, and preferably 0.012 or less where a represents the thickness of the crystal blank in the oscillation region and b represents the thickness of the excitation electrode. The thickness a is typically 5 μm or less.
