Abstract: A MEMS microphone structure, comprising a semiconductor substrate having a cavity, a first dielectric layer having a through-hole communicating with the cavity, a lower diaphragm electrode formed above the through-hole and at least partially attached to the upper surface of the first dielectric layer, and an upper electrode structure with an insulating layer. The upper electrode structure comprises an annular supporter, a back plate having multiple holes, and an upper electrode connection. At least a part of the annular supporter extends downwardly to the lower diaphragm electrode while the rest of the annular supporter extends downwardly to the substrate. The back plate is suspended above the lower diaphragm electrode by the annular supporter, forming an air gap therebetween. An upper electrode is embedded in the insulating layer at the back plate and is lead out by the upper electrode connection.
