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...

In this paper the effect of corrugated diaphragm on performance of MEMS microphone is described. The corrugated diaphragm is modeled in order to improve the sensitivity of micromachined silicon acoustic sensor. Analytical analyzes have been carried out to derive mathematic expressions for the mechanical sensitivity and displacement of corrugated diaphragm with residual stress. It is shown that ...

Accurate determination of the pull-in, or the collapse voltage is critical in the design process. In this paper an analytical method is presented that provides a more accurate determination of the pull-in voltage for MEMS capacitive devices with clamped square diaphragm. The method incorporates both the linearized modle of the electrostatic force and the nonlinear deflection model of a clamped ...

full textDesign and Fabrication of a Novel MEMS Silicon Microphone
A microphone is a transducer that converts acoustic energy into electrical energy. Microphones are widely used in voice communications devices, hearing aids, surveillance and military aims, ultrasonic and acoustic distinction under water, and noise and vibration control (Ma et al. 2002). Micromachining technology has been used to design and fabricate various silicon microphones. Among them, the...
full textModelling and Optimisation of a Spring-Supported Diaphragm Capacitive MEMS Microphone
Audio applications such as mobile communication and hearing aid devices demand a small size but high performance, stable and low cost microphone to reproduce a high quality sound. Capacitive microphone can be designed to fulfill such requirements with some trade-offs between sensitivity, operating frequency range, and noise level mainly due to the effect of device structure dimensions and visco...
