  • MEMS microphone system and method
    Patent number: 10349188
    Abstract: A Microelectromechanical system (MEMS) microphone comprises a base unit and a driving system disposed on the base unit. The driving system comprises a first diaphragm, a second diaphragm spaced apart from the first diaphragm, and a comb finger counter electrode assembly comprising a moving electrode member, the counter electrode assembly is mechanically coupled to the first and second diaphragms. The driving system further comprises a side wall mechanically coupled the first diaphragm to the second diaphragm defining a sealed electrode region and the sealed electrode region having an encapsulated gas pressure and the comb finger counter electrode assembly is disposed within the sealed electrode region.
