  • Publication number: 20240021485
    Abstract: A semiconductor package and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. The semiconductor package includes a circuit board, a semiconductor die disposed on the circuit board, a support structure disposed on the circuit board and surrounding the semiconductor die, and a lid disposed over the semiconductor die and on the support structure. The lid has a window opening penetrating through the lid and exposing at least a portion of the semiconductor die. The window opening is configured to receive a light of an incident direction, and the incident direction is at an angle to the upper surface of the protrusion portion, so that the light hitting on the upper surface of the protrusion portion is reflected.

  • Patent number: 11533565
    Abstract: A MEMS microphone includes a substrate having an opening, a first diaphragm, a first backplate, a second diaphragm, and a backplate. The first diaphragm faces the opening in the substrate. The first backplate includes multiple accommodating-openings and it is spaced apart from the first diaphragm. The second diaphragm joints the first diaphragm together at multiple locations by pillars passing through the accommodating-openings in the first backplate. The first backplate is located between the first diaphragm and the second diaphragm. The second backplate includes at least one vent hole and it is spaced apart from the second diaphragm. The second diaphragm is located between the first backplate and the second backplate.
