  • Publication number: 20090101998
    Abstract: An electro-acoustic sensing device including a sensing chip, a carrier chip and a sealing element is provided. The sensing chip is for electro-acoustic transducing and thereby outputting an electrical signal. The carrier chip disposed below the sensing chip has at least one second connecting point, at least one electrical channel and at least one channel connecting point. The second connecting point is electrically contacted with the first connecting point. The second connecting point and the channel connecting point are located at different surfaces of the carrier chip. The electrical channel passes through the carrier chip and electrically connects the second connecting point and the channel connecting point. The electrical signal is transmitted to the channel connecting point via the first and the second connecting points and the electrical channel. The sealing element is disposed between the sensing chip and the carrier chip for air-tight coupling the two chips.

  • Publication number: 20070160248
    Abstract: A micro acoustic transducer and manufacturing method are provided. Firstly, a substrate having one first and second cavities is provided. Then, a backplate with a plurality of acoustic holes is formed on the substrate, and a diaphragm is formed on the backplate. An air gap is formed between the backplate and the diaphragm. The air gap, second cavity, and first cavity are communicated with each other through the acoustic holes. A plurality of rings is formed around the diaphragm. These rings are used to hitch pillars formed on the substrate or fasteners can be formed on the substrate for fastening the diaphragm on fastener holes. Through the arrangement of the rings or fasteners used as the boundary structure of the diaphragm, the mechanical sensitivity of the diaphragm is improved. Moreover, the backplate is supported by a single crystal structure formed by etching the substrate such that the stability is promoted.

  • Patent number: 7214564
    Abstract: A film bulk acoustic wave filter assembly includes a film bulk acoustic filter and an RF circuit. The film bulk acoustic filter unit cell includes a plurality of film bulk acoustic wave resonators. The number, area and arrangement of the resonators depend on the characteristics of the filter. In the film bulk acoustic wave filter, a metal layer made by CMOS processes is used as a lower electrode area of the film bulk acoustic wave filter or a suspended chamber. The film bulk acoustic filter can be integrated with the RF circuit using processes such as the CMOS process. It facilitates the integration of active devices, streamlining of system design and simplification of test processes, and has a great influence on the application of RF communication devices and integration of system-system-chip (SOC).

  • Publication number: 20070000327
    Abstract: An acoustic wave sensing device integrated with micro-channels and a method for the same are described. The present invention uses a piezoelectric substrate with a thinner portion serving as a sensing area and formed via a micromaching or chemical process. An inter-digital transducer (IDT) is located on the thinner portion to produce flexural plate waves (FPW). The micro-channels can be formed together with the thinner portion via the same manufacturing process, or integrated into the piezoelectric substrate via linkage. In the present invention, a novel manufacturing process and design are proposed for fabrication of the acoustic wave sensing devices with a good piezoelectric characteristic, a stable temperature compensation property, and a robust structure. Thereby, the techniques of flexural plate waves can be applied for liquid sensors. In this way, the drawbacks of the conventional acoustic wave sensing devices, such as poor piezoelectric properties and fragile film structures, are removed.
