4. A piezoelectric resonator, comprising:
a piezoelectric substrate;
an electrode including silver provided on a

electrode having a contact surface adapted to be
contacted by a terminal; and
high fusion point metal provided on said contact
surface of said electrode,
wherein said high fusion point metal comprises
high fusion point fine particles provided on said
contact surface of said electrode.
Besides the appellant‘s admitted prior art (AAPA), the
