A drive electrode to which a voltage for allowing a vibrator to vibrate is
applied and first and second detection electrodes extending in the
longitudinal direction of the vibrator in parallel to each other are
formed as the upper electrode such that the drive electrode is interposed
between the first and second detection electrodes and does not contact
with the detection electrodes. In the case where there is a difference
between the detection signals detected in the first and second detection
electrodes when a voltage is applied between the lower electrode and
drive electrode to allow the vibrator to vibrate at a vertical resonance
frequency, a laser light is irradiated to a desired portion of the
vibrator to apply grinding operation based on detection signals detected
in the first and second detection electrodes, thereby adjusting the shape
of the vibrator.
