A transducer includes: a substrate having a hole; a backplate facing an opening of the hole; and a diaphragm facing the backplate with an air gap therebetween. The backplate includes a backplate body, a backplate support secured to the substrate, and through-holes perforating the backplate body; the backplate body includes a center region and three or more peripheral regions partially or completely surrounding the center region; the through-holes defines a percentage open area in each of the center region and the three or more peripheral regions, and the percentage open areas are mutually different; the percentage open area in the center region is larger than the percentage open area in each of the three or more peripheral regions; and the percentage open area in the outermost peripheral region of the backplate body is smaller than the percentage open area in the peripheral region near the center region.
