Abstract
This work is devoted to results of development of high frequency fundamental mode (HFF) crystal resonators fabricated with an inverted mesa-structure procedure and sealed in HC-45 holders with a high vacuum process. The paper deals with analysis of various resonator parameters. Essential advantages of the vacuum-sealed crystals over conventional ones were observed in long-term frequency stability (aging). About 9 months aging tests with HFF vacuum-sealed units operating at 103-156 MHz shown 0.5-1.0 ppm frequency drift for the first month and 2-3 ppm for the 8 months period at 85/spl deg/C.
