    Abstract: A micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) acoustic sensor includes: a silicon substrate layer; an insulation layer, arranged above the silicon substrate layer; two first electrode layers, respectively arranged above the insulation layer and arranged opposite to each other at intervals; and two second electrode layers, respectively arranged above the two first electrode layers. Each of the second electrode layers is provided with at least one support member connected to the corresponding first electrode layer, and forms an acoustic flow channel together with a part of the insulation layer and the two first electrode layers. The each second electrode layer has a front section and a rear section. The front section forms a diverging first cambered surface. The rear section forms a tapered second cambered surface.

    Abstract: A piezoelectric microelectromechanical systems microphone can be mounted on a printed circuit board. The microphone can include a substrate with an opening between a bottom end of the substrate and a top end of the substrate. The microphone can include a single piezoelectric film layer disposed over the top end of the substrate and defining a diaphragm structure, the single piezoelectric film layer having substantially zero residual stress and formed from a piezoelectric wafer. The microphone can include one or more electrodes disposed over the diaphragm structure. The diaphragm structure is configured to deflect when subjected to sound pressure via the opening in the substrate.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a MEMS microphone comprising (i) a substrate layer, (ii) a fixed backplate, and (iii) an intermediate layer sandwiched between the substrate layer and the fixed backplate. The substrate layer has a first opening through the thickness of the substrate layer. The intermediate layer has a second opening through the thickness of the intermediate layer. The fixed backplate forms a ceiling of the second opening, and the second opening is larger than the first opening and extends into the first opening, forming a looped recess (“undercut”). The looped recess is defined by a looped ledge on the substrate, a looped sidewall around the second opening, and a looped ceiling from the fixed backplate. The looped sidewall and the looped ceiling are made of a same material.

    Abstract: A sensor includes a housing having a accommodating room, a flexible plate provided in the accommodating room and moveable to induce a medium pressure change in the accommodating room, and a pressure sensing component for sensing the pressure change. The pressure sensing component and the flexible plate are assembled and moveable together. In the sensor of the present invention, after an external signal to be sensed is transmitted to the sensor, the flexible plate moves to induce air disturbances, and then the pressure sensing component receives a pressure change induced by the air disturbances and performs signal sensing. Compared with the conventional sound sensor, the sensor of the present invention provides no opening communicating with the external environment. Therefore, the impact of foreign objects, noise and other environmental factors on the sensor can be avoided, and the signal generated by the object not to be sensed can be effectively reduced.
