However, the conventional microphone micro-microphone dust-proof device is made of a plurality of different materials, and because the thermal expansion coefficients of the materials are different, during the installation process of the microphone dust-proof device, especially during the heat treatment process, the interior of the microphone dust-proof device (mainly at the interface of the materials) generates a strong thermal stress, and for the membrane structure (protective membrane), the thermal stress can cause the membrane structure to buckle and cause uncontrollable deformation, and further cause irregular wrinkles of the meshes on the membrane structure, thereby reducing the use effect and the service life.
In view of the above technical problems, a method for preventing buckling of a thin film structure in a high temperature environment is needed.

Detailed Description
To describe the structure of the miniature microphone dust-proof device of the present invention in detail, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 shows a front cross-sectional structure of a micro microphone dust-proof device provided by an embodiment of the present invention, and as can be seen from fig. 1, the micro microphone dust-proof device provided by the present invention comprises a supporting bracket 11 for supporting, and an entrance protection film 12 disposed on the supporting bracket 11, wherein the entrance protection film 12 allows air to pass through, but blocks external powder, particles, etc. from passing through; the support bracket 11 has a hollow structure, i.e., a through hole 18 is formed at the center, and the through hole 18 is covered by the protective film 12 in a plan view; and, the difference of the thermal expansion coefficient of the support bracket 11 and the entrance protective film 12 is within a preset range.
It should be noted that the preset range is set according to actual requirements, as long as the thermal expansion coefficients of the support bracket 11 and the entering protective film 12 are the same or similar, so that the thermal stress at the interface between the support bracket 11 and the entering protective film 12 is significantly reduced in the heat treatment process of the micro microphone dust-proof device at high temperature, thereby preventing the entering protective film 12 from deforming. For example, the preset range of the difference between the thermal expansion coefficients of the support bracket 11 and the entrance protective film 12 may be set to ± 1 × 10 according to actual needs -6 Within/° c.
It should be noted that, because the supporting structure and the protective film of the miniature microphone dust-proof device have different functions, the supporting structure and the protective film of the conventional miniature microphone dust-proof device are usually made of two different materials, the supporting structure is usually made of a polymer, the protective film is usually made of a metal, and because the types of the polymer and the metal are different, the structure of the metal/polymer interface generates a strong thermal stress at a high temperature due to mismatch of Coefficients of Thermal Expansion (CTEs), thereby causing deformation of the protective film and reducing the use effect of the protective film. To solve this problem, a polymer member may be used for one of the support bracket 11 and the access protection film 12. It should be further noted that the polymer is a mixture in nature, and different substances can be doped according to actual requirements, so as to change the thermal expansion coefficient of the polymer, therefore, the components of the polymer can be selected according to the required thermal expansion coefficient, as long as the difference between the thermal expansion coefficients of the support bracket 11 and the protective film 12 is within a preset range.
Of course, it is also possible to use polymer parts for both the support bracket 11 and the access protection membrane 12; and, the difference of the thermal expansion coefficients of the support bracket 11 and the entrance protective film 12 is ensured to be within a preset range. Different substances can be doped according to actual requirements, so that the polymer has different effects, and therefore, corresponding polymer materials can be selected for the support bracket 11 and the protective film 12 according to the actual requirements, wherein the material for manufacturing the support bracket 11 has stronger support performance, the material for manufacturing the protective film 12 has stronger ductility (which is convenient for forming a mesh surface structure), and the difference between the thermal expansion coefficients of the two materials is within a preset range.
In addition, in order to further reduce the thermal stress inside the micro microphone dust-proof device, the supporting bracket 11 and the access protection film 12 may be made of the same polymer material, and the polymer has at least supporting property and ductility. It should be noted that the polymer manufacturing process is a relatively mature process in the prior art, such as the manufacturing of plastics, and the innovation point of the present invention lies in the application of the polymer performance, and therefore, the details about the polymer manufacturing process are not described herein again.
The entry protection film 12 may cover one end of the through hole 18, or may be provided in the through hole 18, for example, at the center in the depth direction of the through hole 18 so as to cover the through hole 18 in a plan view. In the case of the structure in which the ingress protection film 12 covers one end of the through hole 18 of the support bracket 11, the accurate assembly direction can be easily recognized in the process of assembling the micro microphone dust-proofing device to the microphone substrate. When the structure that the entering protective film 12 is arranged in the through hole 18 is adopted, in the process of assembling the micro microphone dustproof device on the substrate of the microphone, the installation direction does not need to be distinguished, the efficiency of the assembling process can be improved, and the entering protective film 12 is positioned in the through hole 18, so that the entering protective film 12 can be prevented from being damaged due to the fact that the entering protective film 12 is contacted in the assembling process and the transporting process. In the following description, a structure in which the entry protection film 12 covers one end of the through hole 18 will be described as an example.
In addition, fig. 2 shows a top view structure of the dust-proof device for the miniature microphone according to the embodiment of the present invention, as can be seen from fig. 2, the entrance protection film 12 includes a connecting portion 121 for connection and a filtering portion 122 for filtering external powder and particles, and the filtering portion 122 is connected to the support bracket 11 through the connecting portion 121; the filter portion 122 corresponds to the vertical position of the through hole 18. In the actual working process, outside sound signals enter the microphone through the filter part 122, and outside powder, particles and the like are blocked outside the microphone by the filter part 122, so that the dustproof effect is achieved.
Specifically, since the sound hole 16 of the microphone is generally circular, the cross sections of the filter portion 122 and the through hole 18 may be circular to achieve the matching between the micro microphone dust-proof device and the sound hole 16; in addition, the filter part 122 is provided with meshes having a circular, polygonal or irregular structure, thereby realizing a desired filtering effect.
More specifically, fig. 3 shows a partial enlarged structure of the filter portion 122 provided by the embodiment of the present invention, and as can be seen from fig. 3, the mesh on the filter portion 122 has a honeycomb topology 17; and, each regular hexagon within the cellular topology 17 is formed by six regular triangle topologies. By the design, the filter part 122 can be firmer on the premise of ensuring the filtering effect of the filter part 122, and the service life of the dustproof device of the miniature microphone can be further prolonged.
In addition, in order to prevent external moisture from entering the microphone through the filter portion 122 and damaging the microphone chip 14, the filter portion 122 may be made of a material having a hydrophobic property.
In addition, fig. 4(a) and 4(b) respectively show the front cross-sectional structures of MEMS microphones provided by two embodiments of the present invention, and as can be seen from fig. 4(a) and 4(b), the present invention further provides a MEMS microphone, which includes a substrate 13 for carrying a chip, a protective housing 15, a MEMS chip 14, and the above-mentioned micro microphone dust-proof device; wherein, an encapsulation structure is formed between the substrate 13 and the housing 15, and the MEMS chip 14 is disposed on the substrate 13 (fig. 4(a)) or on the protective film 12 (fig. 4(b)) within the encapsulation structure; moreover, the substrate 13 is provided with a sound hole 16 corresponding to the upper and lower positions of the MEMS chip 14, and the micro microphone dust-proof device is disposed outside the sound hole 16 or between the sound hole 16 and the MEMS chip 14 as long as the function of covering the sound hole 16 by the micro microphone dust-proof device is satisfied.
Specifically, when the miniature microphone dust-proof device is disposed between the sound hole 16 and the MEMS chip 14, the miniature microphone dust-proof device may be disposed between the sound hole 16 and the MEMS chip 14 by connecting the support bracket 11 with the substrate 13; also, the entrance protection film 12 is disposed between the acoustic hole 16 and the MEMS chip 14.
In this way, a channel formed by the sound hole 16 and the through hole 18 is formed, through which external sound signals enter the inside of the microphone, and external powder, particles and moisture are blocked by the filter 122 in the channel, so that the MEMS chip 14 inside the housing 15 is protected.
As can be seen from the above embodiments, the dust-proof device for a miniature microphone according to the present invention has at least the following advantages:
1. the filter part is arranged on the protective film, so that the influence of external powder and particles on the performance of the microphone chip caused by the fact that the external powder and the particles enter the microphone can be effectively avoided;
2. the difference value of the thermal expansion coefficients of the support bracket and the protective film is within a preset range by selecting the materials of the support bracket and the protective film, so that the buckling of the film structure in a high-temperature environment can be effectively avoided;
3. the filter part is made of the hydrophobic material, so that the waterproof effect of the filter part can be realized, and a microphone chip in the microphone is protected;
4. the mesh on the filtering part is designed into a honeycomb topological structure, so that the filtering part is firmer on the premise of ensuring the filtering effect of the filtering part, and the service life of the dustproof device of the miniature microphone is prolonged.
The dust-proof device for a miniature microphone and the MEMS microphone according to the present invention have been described above by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications may be made to the above-described miniature microphone dust-proof device and MEMS microphone of the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should be determined by the contents of the appended claims.
