Piezoelectric devices are disclosed that include a chip plate sandwiched between a lid plate and a base plate. The chip plate includes a tuning-fork type piezoelectric vibrating piece surrounded by an outer frame. The lid plate includes a concavity on its inner major surface, and the base plate includes a concavity on its inner major surface. The lid plate, chip plate, and base plate are bonded together to form a package containing the piezoelectric vibrating piece. The tuning-fork type piezoelectric vibrating piece includes a base having an X-direction width and at least pair of vibrating arms extending from the base in a Y-direction. The tuning-fork type piezoelectric vibrating piece is coupled to the outer frame by supporting arms extending in the Y-direction outboard of the vibrating arms. The concavity of the lid plate includes at least one base-movement buffer extending in the X-direction at a location corresponding to the base of the vibrating piece. The concavity of the base plate includes at least one base-movement buffer extending in the X-direction at a location corresponding to the base. |
