摘要: Electronic acoustic devices and methods of operating the same include a microphone having a frequency response including a resonance frequency, a reference microphone having a frequency response including a resonance frequency, the microphone and the reference microphone configured to substantially simultaneously receive a common acoustic signal to produce a transduced signal of the microphone and a transduced signal of the reference microphone, the resonance frequency of the reference microphone being different than the resonance frequency of the microphone, and an equalization module configured to equalize the frequency response of the microphone based on the transduced signal of the microphone and the transduced signal of the reference microphone.

摘要: A piezoelectric microelectromechanical systems microphone can be mounted on a printed circuit board. The microphone can include a substrate with an opening between a bottom end of the substrate and a top end of the substrate. The microphone can include a single piezoelectric film layer disposed over the top end of the substrate and defining a diaphragm structure, the single piezoelectric film layer being substantially flat with substantially zero residual stress and formed from a piezoelectric wafer. The microphone can include one or more electrodes disposed over the diaphragm structure. The diaphragm structure is configured to deflect when subjected to sound pressure via the opening in the substrate.

摘要: A method for making a cantilever sensor includes forming a beam extending between a proximal portion and a distal end, and forming and attaching an electrode on the proximal portion. The beam is attached to a substrate in cantilever form so that the proximal portion of the beam is anchored to the substrate and the distal end of the beam is unsupported. The method includes modifying the resonance frequency of the cantilever sensor by forming at least the tip of the beam of a material having one or both of a density and Young's modulus that provides the desired resonant frequency, or by forming at least the tip of the beam so that it has a greater height in a Z direction transverse to a length of the beam than the proximal portion of the beam to thereby tune a resonant frequency of the sensor.

摘要: A piezoelectric sensor (e.g., for use in a piezoelectric MEMS microphone) includes a substrate and a cantilever beam attached to the substrate. The cantilever beam has a proximal portion attached to the substrate and extending to an unsupported distal end. An electrode is disposed on or in the proximal portion of the beam and has an outer boundary with a shape substantially corresponding to a contour line of a strain distribution plot for the cantilever beam resulting from a force applied to the cantilever beam.
