2b2.07pl a Polymer Condenser Microphone on Silicon with On-chip Cmos Amplifier

چکیده
In this paper the development of a capacitive microphone with integrated preamplifier is described. The condenser microphone is made by micromachining of polyimide on silicon, and is compatible with CMOS technology. Therefore, the structure can be realised by post processing on substrates containing integrated circuits, independently of the IC process. Microphones with a required DC bias voltage of 4 V have been realised on a CMOS substrate containing PMOS buffer preamplifiers. From the measurements on these structures, it is illustrated how an immediate improvement of 4.8 dB of the microphone sensitivity and noise level can be obtained by using the integrated preamplifier. The measured sensitivity of the integrated condenser microphone was 2.5 mV/Pa and the equivalent noise level (ENL) was 29.5 dB(A) SPL.

Fabrication and Characterization of a New MEMS Capacitive Microphone using Perforated Diaphragm
In this paper, a novel single-chip MEMS capacitive microphone is presented. The novelties of this method relies on the moveable aluminum (Al) diaphragm positioned over the backplate electrode, where the diaphragm includes a plurality of holes to allow the air in the gap between the electrode and diaphragm to escape and thus reduce acoustical damping in the microphone. Spin-on-glass (SOG) was us...

This study reports a CMOS-MEMS condenser microphone implemented using the standard thin film stacking of 0.35 μm UMC CMOS 3.3/5.0 V logic process, and followed by post-CMOS micromachining steps without introducing any special materials. The corrugated diaphragm for the microphone is designed and implemented using the metal layer to reduce the influence of thin film residual stresses. Moreover, ...

CMOS implementations for RF applications often employ technology modifications to reduce the silicon substrate loss at high frequencies. The most common techniques include the use of a high-resistivity substrate (ρ>10Ω-cm) or silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate and precise bondwire inductors [1, 2]. However, these techniques are incompatible with low-cost CMOS manufacture. This design demonstr...

Graphene/silicon CMOS hybrid integrated circuits (ICs) should provide powerful functions which combines the ultra-high carrier mobility of graphene and the sophisticated functions of silicon CMOS ICs. But it is difficult to integrate these two kinds of heterogeneous devices on a single chip. In this work a low temperature process is developed for integrating graphene devices onto silicon CMOS I...
