    Abstract: An alternate venting path can be employed in a sensor device for pressure equalization. A sensor component of the device can comprise a diaphragm component and/or backplate component disposed over an acoustic port of the device. The diaphragm component can be formed with no holes to prevent liquid or particles from entering a back cavity of the device, or gap between the diaphragm component and backplate component. A venting port can be formed in the device to create an alternate venting path to the back cavity for pressure equalization for the diaphragm component. A venting component, comprising a filter, membrane, and/or hydrophobic coating, can be associated with the venting port to inhibit liquid and particles from entering the back cavity via the venting port, without degrading performance of the device. The venting component can be designed to achieve a desired low frequency corner of the sensor frequency response.

    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a micromechanical environmental barrier chip includes providing a substrate having a first surface and an opposite second surface, depositing a material layer having a different etch characteristic than the substrate onto the first surface, creating a microstructured micromechanical environmental barrier structure on top of the material layer by applying a microstructuring process, applying an anisotropic etching process comprising at least one etching step for anisotropically etching from the second surface towards the first surface to create at least a cavity underneath the micromechanical environmental barrier structure, the cavity extending between the second surface and the material layer, and removing the material layer underneath the micromechanical environmental barrier structure to expose the environmental barrier structure.

    Abstract: In at least one embodiment, a microphone assembly including a substrate, a printed circuit board (PCB), a micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) transducer, a first lid, and a second lid is provided. The substrate defines a first port that extends completely therethrough. The PCB defines a sound opening that extends completely therethrough. The MEMS transducer is positioned on a first side of the substrate. The first lid defines a second port and covers the MEMS transducer and the first port. The first lid and the substrate define a front volume of air that surrounds the MEMS transducer. The second lid is positioned on the second side of the PCB. A cavity of the second lid, the sound opening of the PCB, the sound opening of the PCB, and the first port of the substrate define a back volume of air that is greater than the front volume of air.
