  • Publication number: 20150125007
    Abstract: A packaged microphone has a lid structure with an inner surface having a concavity, and a microphone die secured within the concavity. The packaged microphone also has a substrate coupled with the lid structure to form a package having an interior volume containing the microphone die. The substrate is electrically connected with the microphone die. In addition, the packaged microphone also has aperture formed through the package, and a seal proximate to the microphone die. The seal acoustically seals the microphone and the aperture to form a front volume and a back volume within the interior volume. The aperture is in acoustic communication with the front volume.

  • Publication number: 20140211957
    Abstract: A microphone system has a package with a top, a bottom, and four sides that at least in part form an interior chamber. One of the sides forms an inlet aperture for communicating the inlet chamber with the exterior environment. The system also has first and second microphone dies, in a stacked relationship, respectively having a first and second diaphragms. A circuit die, positioned in electrical communication with the first and second microphone dies, is configured to mitigate vibrational noise from the first microphone die using a signal produced by the second microphone die or vice versa. The first and second microphone dies are positioned so that the first and second diaphragms are substantially the same distance from the inlet aperture in the side.

  • Patent number: 8717775
    Abstract: A fingerprint sensor package includes a flat surface having a dielectric protective coating protecting a sensing element of a fingerprint sensor and an electrically conductive bezel that discharges electrostatic discharge (ESD). Both the protective coating and the bezel can be colored to have desired colors. Accordingly, the flat surface can be colored as desired enhancing the attractiveness for consumer applications. Further, light emitting diodes are integrated into the fingerprint sensor package providing a visual feedback to the user that the user's fingerprint has been successfully sensed. Further, the fingerprint sensor package is formed using a high volume low cost assembly technique.

  • Patent number: 8535961
    Abstract: A method of forming a light emitting diode (LED) package includes mounting a LED structure to a carrier, overmolding the LED structure in a package body, backgrinding the package body to expose the LED structure, removing the carrier, and forming a redistribution layer (RDL) buildup structure comprising a RDL circuit pattern coupled to a LED of the LED structure. The LED package is formed without a substrate in one embodiment. By forming the LED package without a substrate, the thickness of the LED package is minimized. Further, by forming the LED package without a substrate, heat removal from the LED is maximized as is electrical performance. Further still, by forming the LED package without a substrate, the fabrication cost of the LED package is minimized.
