Abstract
A MEMS microphone includes a substrate having a back cavity, a vibration diaphragm system, and a housing. The vibration diaphragm system includes at least two sub-vibration diaphragm assemblies, a slit is formed between adjacent two of the at least two sub-vibration diaphragm assemblies, one end, distal from the housing, of each of the at least two sub-vibration diaphragm assemblies is fixed to a cross beam assembly, and first gaps are formed between the at least two sub-vibration diaphragm assemblies and inner sides of the housing, so that the at least two sub-vibration diaphragm assemblies form a cantilever beam structure, which increases compliance of the vibration diaphragm system and further improves sensitivity of microphones.
Claims9
A Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) microphone, comprising:
- a substrate;
- a vibration diaphragm system;
- and
- a housing;
- wherein the substrate comprises a back cavity, the vibration diaphragm system is disposed on one side of the substrate, and the housing is disposed to enclose the vibration diaphragm system and connected to the one side of the substrate, where the one side of the substrate is close to the vibration diaphragm system;
- the vibration diaphragm system comprises a cross beam assembly and at least two sub-vibration diaphragm assemblies, the cross beam assembly is connected to the housing, the at least two sub-vibration diaphragm assemblies are connected to the cross beam assembly and are disposed at intervals, and a slit is formed between adjacent two of the at least two sub-vibration diaphragm assemblies;
- one end, distal from the housing, of each of the at least two sub-vibration diaphragm assemblies is fixed to the cross beam assembly, first gaps are formed between the at least two sub-vibration diaphragm assemblies and inner sides of the housing, and the at least two sub-vibration diaphragm assemblies are suspended on the one side of the substrate through the cross beam assembly and the housing;
- the cross beam assembly comprises a fixing member and cross beams;
- the fixing member is disposed in an enclosed area of the housing and the cross beams extend from a peripheral side of the fixing member and are fixed to the housing;
- the cross beams and the slit are in one-to-one correspondence, each of the cross beams is penetrated in a corresponding one of the slit, and the one end, distal from the housing, of each of the at least two sub-vibration diaphragm assemblies is fixed to the fixing member.
