Abstract: A ceramic electronic component includes a body including a dielectric layer and an internal electrode, and an external electrode disposed on the body and connected to the internal electrode. The dielectric layer includes a plurality of dielectric grains, and at least one of the plurality of dielectric grains has a core-dual shell structure having a core and a dual shell. The dual shell includes a first shell surrounding at least a portion of the core, and a second shell surrounding at least a portion of the first shell, and a concentration of a rare earth element included in the second shell is more than 1.3 times to less than 3.8 times a concentration of a rare earth element included in the first shell.

Abstract: A micro-electro mechanical system (MEMS) microphone includes: a printed circuit substrate; a MEMS chip that is combined with the printed circuit substrate and has a MEMS inner space; and a case that is combined with the printed circuit substrate, accommodates the MEMS chip, and forms an inner space that is separated from an external space, wherein the case is a double-type case including an inner case and an outer case, a medium acoustic path space is formed between the inner case and the outer case, and the printed circuit substrate includes a substrate acoustic path that connects the medium acoustic path space to the MEMS inner space of the MEMS chip so that external sound passing through the sound hole enters the MEMS inner space of the MEMS chip after passing through the medium acoustic path space.

Abstract: A microphone assembly is provided. An apparatus for fabricating the microphone assembly includes a lower mold attached to a bottom surface of a printed circuit board (PCB) on which a microphone chip is mounted, an upper mold installed on the PCB and including receiving spaces receiving the microphone chips and an inlet for injecting a material; and a material injector movably installed with respect to the inlet to inject epoxy or silicone into the receiving spaces of the upper mold. A method for fabricating the microphone phone includes mounting microphone chips, installing the mold, injecting the material, and cutting the PCB and producing the microphone assembly. The microphone assembly is fabricated in a transfer molding process or an injection molding process using a mold to reduce the processing time needed for fabricating the microphone and fabricating high quality microphones due to improvements in workability and productivity.
