Silicon condenser microphone and manufacturing method
DC CAFCFirst Claim
1. A silicon condenser microphone package comprising:
- a package housing formed by connecting a multi-layer substrate comprising at least one layer of conductive material and at least one layer of non-conductive material, to a cover comprising at least one layer of conductive material;
a cavity formed within the interior of the package housing;
an acoustic port formed in the package housing; and
a silicon condenser microphone die disposed within the cavity in communication with the acoustic port;
where the at least one layer of conductive material in the substrate is electrically connected to the at least one layer of conductive material in the cover to form a shield to protect the silicon condenser microphone die against electromagnetic interference.

Abstract
A silicon condenser microphone package and method for manufacture are disclosed. The silicon condenser microphone package includes a silicon condenser microphone die, a substrate comprising a conductive layer, and a cover having a conductive layer, where the conductive layers of the substrate and cover are electrically connected to form an electromagnetic interference shield for the silicon condenser microphone die. The method for manufacturing the silicon condenser microphone package involves placement of a plurality of silicon condenser microphone dies on a panel of printed circuit board material, placement of covers over each of the silicon condenser microphone dies, and then separating the panel into individual packages.
