  • Publication number: 20240073610
    Abstract: A microphone chip and a microphone are provided. The microphone chip includes a diaphragm and a back plate. When the sound wave drives the diaphragm to vibrate through the sound hole, a distance between the electrode sheet and the diaphragm changes, and a capacitance value of the capacitance system changes, thereby converting the sound wave signal into an electrical signal. In the direction perpendicular to the back plate, the outer contour of the projection of each protrusion on the diaphragm and an outer contour of a corresponding fold of the plurality of folds do not intersect, so as to prevent the protrusion from contacting and getting stuck with the side wall of the fold in the process of external vibration or excessive blowing, which may lead to adhesion between the diaphragm and the back plate and affection of the normal operation of the microphone chip.

  • Publication number: 20230379635
    Abstract: Provided is a MEMS microphone, including a base which forms a back cavity, and a capacitor system arranged on the base and connected to the base. The capacitor system includes a diaphragm located above the base and a backplate spaced from the diaphragm; and the MEMS microphone further includes a barrier structure, and the barrier structure is spaced from the capacitor system in a vibration direction. The barrier structure spaced from the capacitor system in the vibration direction can ensure that the movement of the diaphragm and the backplate is not affected under low sound pressure, so as not to affect the performance of the microphone, and can hinder the deformation of the diaphragm and the backplate under large sound pressure, thereby inhibiting failure of the microphone caused by fracture due to large deformation of the diaphragm and the backplate.
