摘要: A capacitive transducer or microphone includes a first substrate of one or more layers and which includes a first surface, a first cavity in the first surface, and a mesa diaphragm that spans the first cavity. The capacitive transducer or microphone includes a second substrate fixed to the first substrate. The second substrate has one or more layers which includes a second cavity having a nonplanar (e.g., contoured or structured or stepped) bottom surface that faces the mesa diaphragm. A shape or relief of the bottom surface of the cavity may advantageously be, to at least some degree, complementary to a deformed shape of the diaphragm. The second substrate may include one or more acoustic holes, non-uniformly distributed thereacross. One or more vents may vent the second cavity.

摘要: Aspects of the disclosure provide a packaging technique for making a directional microphone which employs mechanical structures to cancel undesired background noise to realize the directional function instead of an extra sensor required in electronic noise-cancelling techniques, thus reducing footprint and cost of a directional microphone. A directional microphone based on this technique can include an acoustic sensor and a housing enclosing the acoustic sensor. The acoustic sensor can include a sensing diaphragm, a cavity below the sensing diaphragm, and a first substrate. The directional microphone device can further include a channel with an inlet open at an edge of the first substrate and an outlet connected with the cavity. The housing can include a cover attached to a second substrate supporting the first substrate. The cover can include a first opening over the sensing diaphragm and a second opening at a side of the cover.

摘要: Aspects of the disclosure provide a capacitive pressure sensor. The capacitive pressure sensor can include a first substrate having a first surface and a second surface, a movable plate at a bottom of a first cavity recessed into the substrate from the first surface, and a second substrate bonded to the first substrate over the first surface. A second cavity is formed between the movable plate and the second surface. The second substrate includes a fixed plate disposed over the movable plate to form a capacitor. The second substrate further includes a third cavity between a surface of the fixed plate opposite to the movable plate and a surface of the second substrate opposite to the first substrate.

摘要: An acoustic apparatus includes an anchored diaphragm that is actuated by mechanical energy and a transduction material that is disposed in the anchored diaphragm that generates the mechanical energy that actuates the anchored diaphragm. The acoustic apparatus further includes an extendable diaphragm that is actuated when the anchored diaphragm is actuated and a plurality of damping holes that are disposed about the extendable diaphragm and that allow the extendable diaphragm to actuate in a vertical direction.

摘要: Aspects of the disclosure provide a waterproof packaging technique for fabricating waterproof microphones in mobile devices. A device based on the waterproof packaging technique can include a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) device, a housing enclosing the MEMS device, and a liquid-resistant air inlet passive device (LRAPD) on the housing. The LRAPD can include at least one channel connecting an exterior of the housing with a chamber formed between the housing and the MEMS device. An inside surface of the channel can be coated with a liquid-repellant coating. In some examples, the liquid-repellant coating can be a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) coating.
