Embodiment
Below in conjunction with the accompanying drawing in the embodiment of the present invention, be clearly and completely described the technical scheme in the embodiment of the present invention, obviously, described embodiment is only the present invention's part embodiment, instead of whole embodiments.Based on the embodiment in the present invention, those of ordinary skill in the art, not paying the every other embodiment obtained under creative work prerequisite, belong to the scope of protection of the invention.
The present invention is mainly used in a kind of integrated difference silicon capacitor microphone.Although the effort that prior art is carried out at the links of difference silicon capacitor microphone is fruitful, still lack corresponding system combination and interface work for the treatment of, when microphone overall work, these links are essential.The present invention is by using parallel for the difference MEMS sensitive structure of 2 or 4 couplings, ensure that the input of each sound wave is until change the prestage acoustics of transaudient path for each difference MEMS senser in silicon capacitor microphone of the signal of telecommunication into by difference MEMS senser simultaneously, mechanics, the technical scheme of electricity full symmetric, arrange from difference MEMS senser, integrated circuit is arranged, lead-in wire and encapsulation are arranged, each link that the process of subsequent conditioning circuit system such as to arrange at the silicon microphone is set about, improve the efficiency of mutual data fusion between each difference MEMS sensitive structure of integrated silicon capacitor microphone, thus reach the linearity improving silicon capacitor microphone further, the overall technology indexs such as maximum sound pressure level, improve product competitiveness.Below in conjunction with concrete drawings and Examples, the invention will be further described.
Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 is the microphone structure vertical section schematic diagram of sound inlet 101 of the present invention on outer casing upper cover 102 or substrate 103 respectively.As shown in FIG., can according to the transaudient needs of reality, arrange backing plate 202 and the connected space 201 of the operatic tunes 302 being communicated with MEMS sensitive structure 301, integrated circuit (IC) chip 401,402 (optionally can increase integrated circuit (IC) chip 403,404) does mirror image or axial symmetry arrangement around MEMS sensitive structure 301.It is worth emphasizing that, independently MEMS sensitive structure is symmetrical for each, from MEMS sensitive structure 301 to the relative position of each integrated circuit (IC) chip 401,402 (optionally can increase integrated circuit (IC) chip 403,404), lead-in wire specular or axial symmetry, and chip is symmetrical in electric meaning relative to encapsulating housing.
Fig. 3 is integrated circuit (a kind of chip provides the positive negative bias voltage of the coupling simultaneously) layout on substrate and the schematic top plan view of lead-in wire that 2 difference MEMS sensers and 2 pieces coordinate MEMS senser.In figure, heavy line represents lead-in wire, and I represents the signal transmission electrode (pin) of MEMS senser and integrated circuit ,+and-represent positive negative bias voltage electrode (pin) respectively.Each MEMS senser comprises three, upper, middle and lower electrode (pin), and U represents top electrode, and M represents target, and D represents bottom electrode.Electric capacity between top electrode and target is denoted as Cu (the capacitance variations value being subject to encouraging from the unit sound pressure of below is dCu), electric capacity between bottom electrode and target is denoted as Cd (the capacitance variations value being subject to encouraging from the unit sound pressure of below is-dCd), the parasitic capacitance that positive bias voltage contact conductor in Fig. 3 and target (signal transmission electrode) lead-in wire are introduced is denoted as Cp (obviously because chip position and lead-in wire are axial symmetry arrangement, the Cp of the two-way front stage circuits of Fig. 3 is consistent), the parasitic capacitance that negative bias voltage contact conductor in Fig. 3 and target (signal transmission electrode) lead-in wire are introduced is denoted as Cn.Like this, if think the electric capacity of integrated circuit to voltage transitions link for completely linear, the differentiated information of this two paths of signals is 2* (Cu-Cd)+2* (dCu+dCd).Like this, the matching of Cu and Cd determines the DC point of circuit, and parasitic capacitance Cp and Cn is eliminated by by difference.
Fig. 4 is the schematic top plan view of 4 difference MEMS sensers of the preferred embodiment of the present invention and integrated circuit (a kind of chip provides the positive negative bias voltage of the coupling simultaneously) layout on substrate of 4 cooperation MEMS sensers.Be with the differentiation part of Fig. 3, for 2 MEMS sensers, the performance of symmetric many Data Integrations obviously on its shape, position improves, and is all worse than 4 MEMS sensers.And more than the MEMS senser of 4, the symmetry in its plane and spatial-acoustic, mechanics, electricity cannot ensure.Due to 4 road signal data syncretizing effects, symmetry, can closed loop and a kind of low cost of integrated circuit (IC) chip only need be set, the embodiment shown in Fig. 4 is the preferred embodiment of the present invention.
Fig. 5 is the front end electrical model schematic diagram of 2 or 4 difference MEMS sensers and the integrated circuit (a kind of chip provides the positive negative bias voltage of coupling simultaneously) coordinating MEMS senser.Due to the impact of the difference and fabrication error that arrange structure when actual process realizes, Cu and Cd (having influence on dCu and dCd equally), Cp and Cn all can not full symmetric, and these parameters are all be present in prime electrical model, the linearity on microphone, maximum sound pressure level and closed loop model accuracy are produced directly impact by its symmetry.This figure, by the tool of these parameters in circuit model is showed to scheme to describe, makes the specific implementation process eliminating parasitic capacitance in the present invention be more convenient for understanding.
Fig. 6 is integrated circuit (two kinds of matching chip the provide positive negative bias voltage respectively) layout on substrate and the schematic top plan view of lead-in wire that 2 difference MEMS sensers and 2 pieces coordinate MEMS senser.Same Fig. 3, this figure is with the differentiation part of Fig. 3, respectively the target of two MEMS sensers is accessed positive and negative bias voltage electrode, and by its upper and lower electrode access integrated circuit corresponding signal transmission electrode I1, I2, its parasitic capacitance is also correspondingly denoted as C1, C2, in addition, the difference of technical scheme shown in the present embodiment technical scheme and Fig. 3 is that the present embodiment uses chip specular to arrange, and the embodiment of Fig. 3 uses the arrangement of chip axial symmetry.Equally, if think the electric capacity of integrated circuit to voltage transitions link for completely linear, the differentiated information of this two paths of signals is 2* (Cu-Cd)+2* (dCu+dCd).Like this, the matching of Cu and Cd determines the DC point of circuit, and parasitic capacitance C1 and C2 is eliminated by by difference.
Fig. 7 is the schematic top plan view that 4 difference MEMS sensers and 4 coordinate integrated circuit (two kinds of matching chip the provide positive negative bias voltage respectively) layout on substrate of MEMS senser.Similar in Fig. 3 in Fig. 6 and Fig. 4 of this figure, wherein this figure embodiment adopts the arrangement of chip specular, and Fig. 4 embodiment adopts the arrangement of chip axial symmetry.
Fig. 8 is the front end electrical model schematic diagram of 2 or 4 difference MEMS sensers and the integrated circuit (two kinds of matching chip provide positive negative bias voltage respectively) coordinating MEMS senser.Identical in Fig. 4, Fig. 3 in Fig. 6, Fig. 7 and Fig. 5 of this figure.
Fig. 9 is the Single-end output circuit diagram that 2 difference MEMS sensers and integrated circuit coordinate.Obviously, the electrical interface requirements exported according to microphone, can separately increase a difference function in circuit rear end, by Single-end output after two paths of signals difference.It is worth mentioning that, because the difference function embodiment increased is in rear end, significant impact can't be produced on technical indicators such as the linearities of microphone.
Figure 10 is the both-end output circuit schematic diagram that 2 difference MEMS sensers and integrated circuit coordinate.Because electric capacity and capacitance gap are inversely proportional to, when the target of obvious difference MEMS senser moves and changes capacitance gap between upper and lower electrode, by the non-linear deviation of difference reduction from amount of exercise to capacitance, but cannot can eliminate completely.When using the embodiment of Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, can as required by this two-way respectively by row difference again after electrostatic force feedback closed loop, concrete methods of realizing is upper by difference MEMS senser, bottom electrode applies a feedback voltage, superpose respectively with former positive negative bias voltage, make, the electrostatic force difference balance acoustics input pressure that bottom electrode produces, thus make middle plate be operated in equilbrium position always, therefore capacitance gap is constant, thus the motion of elimination open loop microphone middle plate changes the non-linear effects from amount of exercise to capacitance during transmission that capacitance gap brings.
Figure 11 is the both-end output circuit schematic diagram that 4 difference MEMS sensers and integrated circuit coordinate.Wherein identical signal carries out suing for peace or line and difference more afterwards between two.Similar with the technical scheme of Fig. 9 and Figure 10, can as Fig. 9 circuit rear end separately increase a difference function and by two paths of signals difference after Single-end output, also can as Figure 10 Ban Jiangmei road signal carry out closed loop after export again.
