Technical Field

The capacitive MEMS microphone includes a MEMS chip through which an acoustic signal is converted into an electrical signal. The MEMS chip comprises a substrate, a back plate and a vibrating diaphragm which are parallel to the substrate respectively, wherein the back plate and the vibrating diaphragm jointly form a parallel plate capacitor, the vibrating diaphragm is deformed when external sound pressure acts on the vibrating diaphragm, the distance between the vibrating diaphragm electrode and the back plate electrode is changed, the capacitor connected into a control Circuit is changed, voltage in the Circuit is further changed, and the electric signal change in the Circuit is detected through an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), so that the detection of a sound signal is realized.
The sound pressure generally accepted by the condenser type MEMS microphone is relatively small, so that the sensitivity of the microphone is higher. In order to obtain higher sensitivity, the area of the diaphragm needs to be increased to improve the capacitance variation in the circuit, but the increase of the area of the diaphragm or the back plate can increase the production cost, and can also increase the length and the width of the microphone, so that the length and the width of the packaging structure of the microphone are increased, and finally, the packaging structure can only be applied to products with smaller length-to-width ratio, and the application range of the microphone is limited.

Referring to fig. 1A to 1E, a microphone assembly 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a substrate 10, a first supporting member 20 and a second supporting member 30 fixedly connected to the substrate 10, and two diaphragm assemblies and a back plate 40 located between the first supporting member 20 and the second supporting member 30, where the back plate 40 has a hollow area 401 and is located between the two diaphragm assemblies, a cavity 110 is disposed on the substrate 10, the first supporting member 20 partially encloses one side of the cavity 110, and the second supporting member 30 is located in the cavity 110; each diaphragm component comprises a first diaphragm 511 and a second diaphragm 512 fixedly connected with the first diaphragm 511 and arranged at an interval, the second diaphragm 512 is located between the first diaphragm 511 and the back plate 40, in the thickness direction of the substrate 10, one end of the first diaphragm 511 and one end of the back plate 40 are respectively and fixedly connected with the first support member 20, the other end of the first diaphragm 511 and the other end of the back plate 40 are respectively and fixedly connected with the second support member 30, the edge of the second diaphragm 512 is suspended, and the first diaphragm 511, the back plate 40, the first support member 20 and the second support member 30 jointly divide the cavity 110 into at least a vibration cavity 80 and a back cavity 60; one of the two diaphragm assemblies forms a first electrode 510, the other diaphragm assembly forms a second electrode 520, the back plate 40 forms a third electrode 410, one side of the first electrode 510, which is far away from the back plate 40, is communicated with the back cavity 60 and forms a first variable capacitor with the third electrode 410, one side of the second electrode 520, which is far away from the back plate 40, is isolated from the back cavity 60 and forms a second variable capacitor with the third electrode, and the first variable capacitor and the second variable capacitor form a differential capacitor to sense a sound pressure signal.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, each of the second diaphragms 512 in the two diaphragm assemblies has a certain predetermined gap with the back plate 40. For example, the gap d is 2 to 3um.
For example, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first support 20 and the second support 30 are both made of an electrically insulating material, such as SiO2 material.
The microphone assembly and the electronic equipment provided by the embodiment of the invention not only can obviously improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the microphone, but also have small volume. Compared with a structure that the diaphragm assembly and the back plate are arranged perpendicular to the thickness direction of the substrate, the microphone assembly in the embodiment of the invention can have a higher length-width ratio so as to be suitable for products with a high length-width ratio.
Illustratively, in this embodiment, the cavity 110 has two first inner surfaces 1101 perpendicular to the two diaphragm assemblies and the back plate 40 and two second inner surfaces 1102 parallel to the two diaphragm assemblies and the back plate 40, three sides of the second support 30 are fixedly connected to the two first inner surfaces 1101, the second inner surface 1102 adjacent to the second electrode 520, and the other side is suspended. One side of the second supporting member 30 is suspended, so that one of the two diaphragm assemblies is communicated with the back cavity 60, and external sound pressure can act on the diaphragm assembly, so that the microphone assembly with bottom-in sound can be applied.
Wherein the diaphragm assembly constituting the second electrode 520, the partial areas of the two first inner surfaces 1101, the partial area of the second inner surface 1102 of the diaphragm assembly immediately adjacent to the second electrode 520 and the partial area of the second support 30 together form the auxiliary chamber 70, and the first support 20 does not enclose the auxiliary chamber 70. At this time, the auxiliary chamber 70 serves to provide a deformation space for the diaphragm assembly constituting the second electrode 520.
In this embodiment, the two diaphragm assemblies, another partial region of the two first inner surfaces 1101, and another partial region of the second support 30 together form the vibration cavity 80, and the first support 20 does not enclose the vibration cavity 80.
Illustratively, in the present embodiment, the vibration chamber 80 includes a first sub-chamber 81 and a second sub-chamber 82 respectively located at two sides of the back plate 40, and the first sub-chamber 81 and the second sub-chamber 82 are communicated through a hollow area 401 on the back plate 40. The first sub-cavity 81 is communicated with the second sub-cavity 82 through the hollow-out area 401 to transmit external sound pressure to the two diaphragm assemblies, and vibration of the two diaphragm assemblies is caused respectively, wherein the distance between the diaphragm assembly forming the first electrode 510 and the back plate 40 forming the third electrode 410 is reduced, the distance between the diaphragm assembly forming the second electrode 520 and the back plate 40 forming the third electrode 410 is increased, so that the first variable capacitor is increased, the second variable capacitor is reduced, the first variable capacitor and the second variable capacitor form a differential capacitor, the controller processes the two signals and outputs a differential electric signal, and therefore sensitivity of the microphone assembly is improved.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 1C, when the sound pressure load during normal operation and the blowing load during abnormal operation are applied to the first diaphragm 511 of the diaphragm assembly constituting the first electrode 510 from the bottom of the microphone assembly through the back cavity 60, since the edge of the second diaphragm 512 of the diaphragm assembly constituting the first electrode 510 is suspended (without fixed support), the second diaphragm 512 of the diaphragm assembly constituting the first electrode 510 does not need to be deformed by its own vibration, but the second diaphragm 512 of the diaphragm assembly constituting the first electrode 510 is pushed to move toward the direction of the back plate 40 based on the force generated by the vibration deformation of the first diaphragm 511 of the diaphragm assembly constituting the first electrode 510. Here, the second diaphragm 512 of the diaphragm assembly forming the first electrode 510 is translated almost toward the back plate 40, and finally, the distance between the second diaphragm 512 of the diaphragm assembly forming the first electrode 510 and the back plate 40 is gradually decreased, so that the capacitance variation between the second diaphragm 512 of the diaphragm assembly forming the first electrode 510 and the back plate 40 can be significantly increased to increase the output electric signal, thereby improving the sensitivity of the microphone assembly 1000.
Further, when the sound pressure is transmitted through the hollow area 401 on the back plate 40 and acts on the second diaphragm 512 of the other diaphragm assembly constituting the second electrode 520, because the edge of the second diaphragm 512 of the other diaphragm assembly constituting the second electrode 520 is suspended (without fixed support), at this time, the distance between the area other than the middle of the second diaphragm 512 of the other diaphragm assembly constituting the second electrode 520 and the back plate 40 may be changed by the vibration deformation of the second diaphragm 512 of the other diaphragm assembly constituting the second electrode 520, and the capacitance change of the corresponding second variable capacitance is generated, so that the capacitance change amount between the second diaphragm 512 of the other diaphragm assembly constituting the second electrode 520 and the back plate 40 may be significantly increased, so as to increase the output electrical signal, and thereby improve the sensitivity of the microphone assembly 1000.
In this embodiment, the first variable capacitor and the second variable capacitor together form a differential capacitor to realize the acoustic-electric conversion.
Exemplarily, in this embodiment, a connection portion 513 is disposed between the first diaphragm 511 and the second diaphragm 512 on the two diaphragm assemblies, and the second diaphragm 512 is fixedly connected to the first diaphragm 511 through the connection portion 513, wherein, in a thickness direction perpendicular to the substrate 10, a projection of the connection portion 513 on the first diaphragm 511 is located in a middle of the first diaphragm 511. Here, since the region where the deformation amount of the first diaphragm 511 is large is often the central region of the first diaphragm 511, the connection part 513 is disposed in the middle of the first diaphragm 511, so that the moving distance of the second diaphragm 512 is maximized, and the distance variation between the second diaphragm 512 and the back plate 40 is increased.
Further, the first diaphragm 511, the second diaphragm 512, and the connecting portion 513 are each formed of a conductive medium. The conductive medium is, for example, polysilicon, so that the transmission of electrical signals within each diaphragm assembly is better achieved.
Optionally, the second diaphragm 512 has a stiffness greater than that of the first diaphragm 511. Stiffness refers to the ability of a material or structure to resist elastic deformation when subjected to a force. In an embodiment, the first diaphragm 511 with smaller rigidity can be deformed more easily by sound pressure load, so as to drive the second diaphragm 512 to move toward the back plate 40; moreover, because the edge of the second diaphragm 512 is suspended (without fixed support), the second diaphragm 512 with higher rigidity keeps flatness when moving, so that the second diaphragm 512 can move uniformly toward the direction of the back plate 40 under the action of the pushing force generated by the deformation of the first diaphragm 511, so as to increase the capacitance variation between the second diaphragm 512 and the back plate 40.
For example, as shown in fig. 1E, in the embodiment of the present invention, the side profile of the second diaphragm 512 is in a shape of a "straight line", and the size d of the gap between the second diaphragm 512 and the back plate 40 at each position can be kept relatively balanced, so that the second diaphragm 512 with the side profile in the shape of a "straight line" is pressed on an almost straight line, and therefore, the size of the capacitance change between the second diaphragm 512 and the back plate 40 can be significantly improved, thereby effectively improving the sensitivity and accuracy of the microphone assembly.
Optionally, the second diaphragm 512 and the first diaphragm 511 are made of the same material, and the thickness of the second diaphragm 512 is greater than that of the first diaphragm 511, as can be seen from the foregoing, the second diaphragm 512 is fixed on the first diaphragm 511 through the connecting portion 513, and the edge of the second diaphragm 512 is suspended, so that the thicker the thickness, the more easily the flatness of the second diaphragm 512 is maintained, and the second diaphragm 512 is not easily shaken during the moving process.
Optionally, the effective sensing area of the second diaphragm 512 is smaller than the effective sensing area of the first diaphragm 511, and it should be noted that the effective sensing area of the second diaphragm 512 is the facing area of the second diaphragm 512 and the back-plate 40, and the effective sensing area of the first diaphragm 511 is the facing area of the first diaphragm 511 and the back-plate 40. As can be seen from the foregoing, the second diaphragm 512 is fixed on the first diaphragm 511 by the connecting portion 513, and because the edge of the second diaphragm 512 is suspended, the smaller the effective sensing area (size) of the second diaphragm 512 is, the easier the flatness of the second diaphragm 512 is to be maintained, and the second diaphragm 512 is not easy to shake during moving.
Optionally, at least one through hole is disposed on the first diaphragm 511 and/or the second diaphragm 512, so as to reduce squeeze film damping on the diaphragm assembly and prevent film breakage.
Further, in the present embodiment, the microphone assembly further includes a first electrode extraction passage 5101 electrically connected to the first electrode 510, a second electrode extraction passage 5201 electrically connected to the second electrode, and a third electrode extraction passage 4101 electrically connected to the third electrode 410.
Fig. 1F is a schematic top view of another microphone assembly provided in the embodiment of fig. 1A, with a first supporting element removed.
As shown in fig. 1D and fig. 1F, for example, in the present embodiment, the hollow area 401 on the back plate 40 includes a plurality of rectangular sub-areas 4011. It should be noted that the sizes of the plurality of rectangular sub-regions 4011 and the distance between two adjacent rectangular sub-regions 4011 may be set as needed while ensuring the rigidity of the back plate 40. For example, as shown in fig. 1D, the plurality of rectangular sub-regions 4011 are equally sized and equally spaced. For example, as shown in fig. 1F, the rectangular sub-regions 4011 have different sizes and are distributed at different intervals, and the interval of the rectangular sub-region 4011 located in the middle of the backplate 40 is greater than the interval of the rectangular sub-regions 4011 located at the edge of the backplate 40, so that noise of the microphone during operation can be effectively reduced, and the signal-to-noise ratio of the product can be improved.
In this embodiment, the effective area of the backplate 40 is smaller than the effective area of the diaphragm assembly. By setting the effective area of the back plate 40 smaller than that of the diaphragm assembly, parasitic capacitance can be reduced, thereby improving sensitivity.
Example two
Fig. 2 is a schematic side view of another microphone assembly provided in the embodiment of fig. 1A, and fig. 3 is a schematic side view of another microphone assembly provided in the embodiment of fig. 1A.
As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the present embodiment exemplarily differs from fig. 1E in that: and the side profile of the second diaphragm 512 fixedly connected with the first diaphragm 511 is in the shape of a circular arc.
For example, as shown in fig. 2, in the present embodiment, the side surfaces of the two second diaphragms 512 of the two diaphragm assemblies are respectively concave toward the back plate 40, that is, the gap between each second diaphragm 512 and the back plate 40 gradually increases along the position where the middle portion of each second diaphragm 512 is directed to the edge thereof; so that one of the second diaphragms 512 can improve noise during the process of moving toward the back plate 40, thereby improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the microphone assembly.
Illustratively, as shown in fig. 3, in the present embodiment, the side surfaces of the two second diaphragms 512 of the two diaphragm assemblies are respectively convex toward the back plate 40, that is, the gap between the second diaphragm 512 and the back plate 40 gradually decreases along the position where the middle portion of each second diaphragm 512 is directed to the edge thereof; so that one of the second diaphragms 512 can improve noise during the process of moving toward the back plate 40, thereby improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the microphone assembly. The reason is that the second diaphragm 512 is in a convex arc shape, and when the second diaphragm 512 is driven by the first diaphragm 511 to move, the second diaphragm 512 has small motion resistance, large displacement of movement, large capacitance change, and high product sensitivity, so that the signal-to-noise ratio is higher.

The vibration cavity 80 is sealed by the first support member 20, the vibration cavity 80 is not communicated with the external environment, and the back cavity 60 and the auxiliary cavity 70 are both communicated with the external environment, so that the microphone assembly can be suitable for a bottom-in sound packaging structure and a front-in sound packaging structure. On the one hand, the auxiliary chamber 70 serves to provide a deformation space for the diaphragm when sound waves enter the back chamber 60 and then act on the diaphragm, and on the other hand, sound waves can also enter the auxiliary chamber 70, and in this case, the auxiliary chamber 70 serves as a forward sound.
