Referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2, wherein fig. 1 and fig. 2 respectively show an external view and a cross-sectional view of a microphone structure according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure. The microphone structure 100 of the present embodiment is configured to be connected to the application terminal assembly 200, and can directly form a sound transmission space with the application terminal assembly 200, which can be used as the microphone structure 100. In the present embodiment, the microphone structure 100 mainly includes a substrate 110, a spacer 120, a cover 130, an asic 140, and a microphone chip 150. In an embodiment, the substrate 110 may be a ceramic substrate, a printed circuit substrate, or a resin substrate, but is not limited to these examples. The asic 140 and the microphone chip 150 are electrically connected to the substrate 110, and the asic 140 is mainly used for detecting the structural deformation of the microphone chip 150, converting the structural deformation into an electrical signal, and transmitting the electrical signal to a related processing element, such as a baseband processor or an amplifier.
Referring to fig. 2 to 4, fig. 3 is an exploded view illustrating a microphone structure according to a first embodiment of the disclosure, and fig. 4 is a bottom view illustrating a substrate of the microphone structure according to the first embodiment of the disclosure. The substrate 110 has a first side 111 and a second side 112 opposite to each other, wherein the first side 111 of the substrate 110 has a concave structure 111a, and the concave structure 111a is recessed from a surface of the first side 111 to form a recessed space a 1.
As shown in fig. 2, the partition 120 is configured to form an accommodating space a2 at the second side 112 of the substrate 110. In the present embodiment, the partition 120 is a retaining wall, and the specific application chip 140 and the microphone chip 150 are surrounded by the partition 120. In some examples, the dam may be formed in various ways, for example, the dam may directly surround the asic 140 and the microphone chip 150 on the second side 112 of the substrate 110 by a standing method, so that the asic 140 and the microphone chip 150 are located in the accommodating space a2 surrounded by the dam. In other embodiments, the accommodating space a2 may be a space formed by a groove formed on the surface of the second side 112 of the substrate 110, and the inner wall of the groove may be defined as a retaining wall.
As shown in fig. 2 to 4, the substrate 110 has a first through hole T1 and a second through hole T2. The first through hole T1 penetrates from the second side 112 of the substrate 110 to the recess space a1 of the substrate 110 to form the sound transmission space A3, and the recess space a1 and the sound transmission space A3 are connected to each other. The second through hole T2 penetrates from the surface of the substrate 110 located in the accommodating space a2 to the recessed space a1 of the substrate 110, such that the accommodating space a2 and the recessed space a1 of the substrate 110 are communicated with each other. As shown in fig. 2, the accommodating space a2 and the sound transmission space A3 are not communicated with each other, but are separated by the partition 120. That is, the partition 120 may also be part of the substrate 110 for separating the accommodating space a2 and the sound transmission space A3.
Referring to fig. 2 to 4, in the present embodiment, the asic 140 and the microphone chip 150 are disposed in the accommodating space a2, and the microphone chip 150 is disposed at a position aligned with the second through hole T2 of the substrate 110. The cover 130 covers the partition 120, and the cover 130 covers the accommodation space a2 and the sound transmission space A3. In one embodiment, the cover 130 may be bonded to the substrate 110 by a conductive adhesive or a non-conductive adhesive. The sound inlet hole 131 is disposed on the cover 130 and is communicated with the sound transmission space A3, but not communicated with the accommodating space a2, so that external sound waves can enter the sound transmission space A3 from the sound inlet hole 131 and then enter the concave space a1, and further pass through the second through hole T2 and are transmitted to the cavity of the microphone chip 150. Therefore, the cavity of the microphone chip 150 is a front cavity of the microphone structure 100, and the accommodating space a2 where the microphone chip 150 is located is a back cavity of the microphone structure 100.
That is, by providing the open type concave structure 111a on the substrate 110, when the substrate 110 is coupled to the application end part 200 as shown in fig. 1, so that sound waves enter the microphone structure 100 from the sound inlet hole 131 of the cover 130, the concave space a1 of the concave structure 111a can directly communicate with the sound transmission space A3 to form a sound transmission channel, so as to guide the sound waves to the microphone chip 150, thereby maintaining the sound inlet function of the microphone structure 100. The accommodating space a2 on the substrate 110 can be directly used as the back cavity of the microphone structure 100, so that the front-tone microphone structure 100 has a large back cavity volume, thereby improving the sensitivity of the microphone structure 100.
As shown in fig. 2 and 4, a seal ring structure S1 is disposed around the periphery of the concave structure 111a on the first side 111 of the substrate 110, and the seal ring structure S1 is connected to another seal ring structure S2 on the application terminal 200 shown in fig. 1 by conductive adhesive. As shown in fig. 2, the substrate 110 has at least one pad 301 disposed in the accommodating space a2, and the first side 111 of the substrate 110 has at least one pad 302 disposed adjacent to the concave structure 111 a. The pads 301 and the pads 302 are electrically connected to each other through the conductive structures 303 penetrating through the substrate 110, so as to guide the electrical signal to the outside of the product.
In the present disclosure, the substrate of the microphone structure may have different structural designs. Referring to fig. 5 to 8, fig. 5 and 6 respectively show an external view and a cross-sectional view of a microphone structure according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure. Fig. 7 is an exploded schematic view showing a microphone structure according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure. Fig. 8 is a schematic bottom surface angle diagram illustrating a microphone structure according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure.
As shown in fig. 5 and 6, the microphone structure 400 mainly includes a substrate 410, a spacer 420, a cover 430, an application specific chip 440, and a microphone chip 450. The ASIC 440 and the microphone ASIC 450 are disposed on the substrate 410 and electrically connected to the substrate 410. In the present embodiment, the substrate 410 is a flat plate.
As shown in fig. 5 to 8, the substrate 410 has a first side 411 and a second side 412 opposite to each other, wherein the first side 411 of the substrate 410 has a concave structure 411a, and the concave structure 411a is recessed from a surface of the first side 411 to form a recessed space a 4. In the embodiment, the partition 420 is a cover structure with a n-shaped cross section, and the partition 420 is disposed on the second side 412 of the substrate 410 and forms an accommodating space a5 together with the substrate 410. As shown in fig. 7, a first sealing ring S3 is disposed on the second side 412 of the substrate 410 corresponding to the position of the partition 420 (cover), and the partition 420 can be bonded to the substrate 410 by using a conductive adhesive or a non-conductive adhesive. In one embodiment, the material of the separator 420 (cover) can be PCB, metal, or glass. In the present embodiment, the asic 440 and the microphone chip 450 are disposed on the second side 412 of the substrate 410 and located in the accommodating space a 5.
As shown in fig. 6 and 7, in the present embodiment, the cover 430 is a u-shaped structure and covers the partition 420, and the cover 430 and the substrate 410 together form a sound transmission space a 6. In one embodiment, a second sealing ring S4 is disposed at a position of the substrate 410 corresponding to the cover 430, and the cover 430 is bonded to the second sealing ring S4 by a conductive adhesive or a non-conductive adhesive. In addition, the substrate 410 has a first through hole T3 and a second through hole T4. The first through hole T3 penetrates from the surface of the substrate 410 in the sound transmission space a6 to the recessed space a4 of the substrate 410, so that the recessed space a4 and the sound transmission space a6 communicate with each other. The second through hole T4 penetrates from the surface of the substrate 410 located in the accommodating space a5 to the recessed space a4 of the substrate 410, such that the accommodating space a5 and the recessed space a4 of the substrate 410 are communicated with each other. As shown in fig. 6, the accommodation space a5 and the sound transmission space a6 are not communicated with each other, but are separated by a partition 420.
As shown in fig. 6 and 7, the asic 440 and the microphone chip 450 are disposed in the accommodating space a5, and the microphone chip 450 is disposed at a position aligned with the second through hole T4 of the substrate 410. In the embodiment, the sound inlet hole 431 is disposed on the cover 430 and is communicated with the sound transmission space a6, but not communicated with the accommodating space a5, so that external sound waves can enter the sound transmission space a6 from the sound inlet hole 431, enter the concave space a4 from the first through hole T3, and then are transmitted to the cavity of the microphone chip 450 through the second through hole T4. Therefore, the cavity of the microphone chip 450 is a front cavity of the microphone structure 400, and the accommodating space a5 where the microphone chip 450 is located is a back cavity of the microphone structure 400.
That is, by providing the open type concave structure 411a on the substrate 410, when the substrate 410 is coupled to the application end part 200 as shown in fig. 1, so that sound waves enter the microphone structure 400 from the sound inlet hole 431 of the cover 430, the concave space a4 of the concave structure 411a can directly communicate with the sound transmission space a6 to form a sound transmission channel, so as to guide the sound waves to the microphone chip 450, thereby maintaining the sound inlet function of the microphone structure 400. The accommodating space a5 on the substrate 410 can be directly used as the back cavity of the microphone structure 400, so that the front-tone microphone structure 400 has a large back cavity volume, thereby improving the sensitivity of the microphone structure 400.
As shown in fig. 6 and 8, a sealing ring structure S5 is disposed around the periphery of the recessed structure 411a on the first side 411 of the substrate 410, and the sealing ring structure S5 is connected to another sealing ring structure S2 on the application terminal 200 shown in fig. 1 by conductive adhesive. As shown in fig. 6, the substrate 410 is provided with at least one pad 501 in the accommodating space a5, and the first side 411 of the substrate 410 is provided with at least one pad 502 adjacent to the concave structure 411 a. The pad 501 and the pad 502 are electrically connected to each other through a conductive structure (not shown) penetrating through the substrate 410, so as to guide an electrical signal to the outside of the product.
In view of the above, the present disclosure mainly changes the structure of the substrate of the microphone structure and the relative position configuration between the substrate and the microphone chip, so that when the microphone structure is installed in an application product, the microphone structure can simultaneously maintain the front sound function of the microphone structure and have a large back cavity volume. Specifically, the present disclosure forms an open space on the substrate by providing a concave structure on one side of the substrate, and forms two non-communicating accommodating spaces and sound transmission spaces on the other side of the substrate. Then, the first through hole and the second through hole are formed in the substrate to enable the concave space to be communicated to the accommodating space and the sound transmission space respectively, so that the sound transmission path of the microphone structure is changed, and the microphone structure can have the effects of a sound advancing function and a large back cavity space.
