Abstract: A MEMS microphone includes a substrate having a cavity, a back plate disposed over the substrate and having a plurality of acoustic holes, a diaphragm disposed between the substrate and the back plate, and an anchor extending from a circumference of the diaphragm to be connected with an end portion of the diaphragm. The diaphragm is spaced apart from the substrate and the back plate to covers the cavity, and the diaphragm senses an acoustic pressure to generate a displacement. The anchor extends from a circumference of the diaphragm to be connected with an end portion of the diaphragm, and is connected with the substrate to support the diaphragm. Thus, the MEMS microphone can prevent a portion of an insulation layer located around the anchor from remaining and can prevent a buckling phenomenon of the diaphragm from occurring.

Abstract: Measures are provided for increasing the resistance to compression of a component having a micromechanical microphone pattern. In particular, the robustness of the microphone pattern to highly dynamic pressure fluctuations is to be increased, without the microphone sensitivity, i.e. the microphone performance, being impaired. The microphone pattern of such a component is implemented in a layer construction on a semiconductor substrate and includes at least one acoustically active diaphragm, which spans a sound hole on the substrate backside, and a stationary acoustically penetrable counterelement having through hole openings, which is situated above/below the diaphragm in the layer construction. At least one outflow channel is developed which makes possible a rapid pressure equalization between the two sides of the diaphragm. In addition, at least one controllable closing element is provided, with which the at least one outflow channel is optionally able to be opened or closed.

Abstract: A method of fabricating a micro-electrical-mechanical system (MEMS) transducer comprises the steps of forming a membrane on a substrate, and forming a back-volume in the substrate. The step of forming a back-volume in the substrate comprises the steps of forming a first back-volume portion and a second back-volume portion, the first back-volume portion being separated from the second back-volume portion by a step in a sidewall of the back-volume. The cross-sectional area of the second back-volume portion can be made greater than the cross-sectional area of the membrane, thereby enabling the back-volume to be increased without being constrained by the cross-sectional area of the membrane. The back-volume may comprise a third back-volume portion. The third back-volume portion enables the effective diameter of the membrane to be formed more accurately.

Abstract: A MEMS capacitive transducer with increased robustness and resilience to acoustic shock. The transducer structure includes a flexible membrane supported between a first volume and a second volume, and at least one variable vent structure in communication with at least one of the first and second volumes. The variable vent structure includes at least one moveable portion which is moveable in response to a pressure differential across the moveable portion so as to vary the size of a flow path through the vent structure. The variable vent may be formed through the membrane and the moveable portion may be a part of the membrane, defined by one or more channels, that is deflectable away from the surface of the membrane. The variable vent is preferably closed in the normal range of pressure differentials but opens at high pressure differentials to provide more rapid equalization of the air volumes above and below the membrane.

Abstract: An integrated package of at least one environmental sensor and at least one MEMS acoustic sensor is disclosed. The package contains a shared port that exposes both sensors to the environment, wherein the environmental sensor measures characteristics of the environment and the acoustic sensor measures sound waves. The port exposes the environmental sensor to an air flow and the acoustic sensor to sound waves. An example of the acoustic sensor is a microphone and an example of the environmental sensor is a humidity sensor.
