Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a sound transducer arrangement having a first and a second MEMS sound transducer for generating and/or detecting sound waves in the audible wavelength spectrum, each comprising a cavity, and having an ASIC electrically connected to the first MEMS sound transducer.
  • Such sound transducer arrangements can have very small dimensions and are therefore installed as loudspeakers and/or microphones, for example, in hearing aids, in-ear headphones, mobile phones, tablet computers and other electronic devices that only offer little installation space.
  • MEMS microelectromechanical systems.
  • a MEMS transducer for sound generation or a MEMS speaker is for example from DE 10 2012 220 819 A1 famous. The sound is generated via an oscillating membrane of the MEMS loudspeaker.
  • Such sound transducer arrangements are constructed specifically according to the acoustic and other requirements of the respective area of application and consist of a large number of different elements.
  • a major disadvantage of such sound transducer arrangements is that their manufacture is correspondingly complex, time-consuming and costly.
  • a sound transducer arrangement which comprises a first substrate with a switching element and a second substrate with a microphone chip.
  • the two substrates are connected to one another in an electrically conductive manner.
  • a surface mount microphone package that includes a first microphone and a second microphone. Furthermore, the surface-mount microphone package includes a first opening for the first microphone and a second opening for the second microphone. The first opening and the second opening are located on opposite sides of the surface mount microphone package.
  • An acoustic transducer arrangement is proposed with a first MEMS acoustic transducer, which includes a first cavity, and with an ASIC that is electrically connected to the first MEMS acoustic transducer.
  • the MEMS sound transducer is a microelectromechanical system for generating and/or detecting sound waves in the audible wavelength spectrum.
  • the MEMS sound transducer is preferably driven electromechanically, electrostatically and/or piezoelectrically.
  • the ASIC is an electronic application-specific integrated circuit suitable for operating the MEMS transducer.
  • cavity is to be understood as meaning a cavity by means of which the sound pressure of the MEMS sound transducer can be amplified.
  • the ASIC is embedded in a first substrate while the first MEMS transducer is disposed on a second substrate.
  • the first substrate with the integrated ASIC and the second substrate with the at least partially integrated MEMS sound transducer thus represent two separate components, ie components manufactured separately from one another.
  • the first and the second substrate are connected to one another. They thus have a common connection area in which they are in direct contact with one another.
  • the connection between the two substrates is preferably by material connection produced, these are preferably glued together. In addition or as an alternative, however, the connection can also be made by means of a form fit and/or force fit.
  • the two substrates are connected to one another in such a way that the ASIC and the first MEMS sound transducer are electrically conductively coupled or connected to one another.
  • a certain amount of rejects is inevitable in the production of sound transducer arrangements.
  • the additional costs arising from rejects can be reduced by initially producing the substrates separately from one another. Thereafter, the functionality of their respective at least one electronic component, i.e. the ASIC or the MEMS sound transducer, is checked. Only after a positive check of their functionality - i.e. when it is ensured that the ASIC and/or the MEMS sound transducer has not been damaged during the respective integration or embedding process - are they connected to each other, in particular glued. In this way it can be ensured that only two functional substrates are connected to one another to form a sound transducer arrangement.
  • the proposed sound transducer arrangement offers many advantages. If the ASIC is completely integrated into the first substrate and the first cavity is formed at least partially in the second substrate, the sound transducer arrangement can be formed in a very space-saving manner. It is advantageous if the first cavity is additionally formed in the first substrate.
  • the sound transducer arrangement can be manufactured much more efficiently.
  • the individual modules which either comprise a first substrate and an ASIC (hereinafter referred to as ASIC module for short) or a second substrate and a MEMS sound transducer (hereinafter referred to as MEMS module for short), can be produced, tested and tested independently of one another in respective sub-processes be temporarily stored if necessary. Each of these sub-processes can be specifically optimized.
  • the design of the ASIC module and the MEMS module can also be specifically optimized.
  • Connecting an ASIC module and a MEMS module can take place late in the manufacturing process.
  • This connection can take place in particular by soldering, conductive adhesive and/or in another suitable manner, so that the first and the second substrate are at least electrically and preferably also positively, non-positively and/or cohesively connected to one another.
  • the ASIC modules and/or the MEMS modules can also be manufactured in different variants and then combined to form different sound transducer arrangements, for example by combining different MEMS module variants with an ASIC module variant or a MEMS module variant can be combined with different ASIC module variants. This enables the flexible design of an extensive product family of different sound transducer arrangements while at the same time exploiting economies of scale.
  • connection between the two modules or between the first and the second substrate are designed to be detachable, so that later in the event of repairs only the defective one of the two modules has to be replaced with a new module.
  • the first cavity is at least partially formed in the second substrate. As a result, a particularly large volume of the cavity can be achieved. It is advantageous if the first cavity is additionally formed in the first substrate.
  • a second MEMS sound transducer is arranged on a third substrate.
  • the first substrate and the third substrate are electrically connected to one another.
  • such an acoustic transducer arrangement comprises the first substrate with the ASIC, the second substrate with the first MEMS acoustic transducer and the third substrate with the second MEMS acoustic transducer.
  • the first substrate is arranged between the second substrate and the third substrate.
  • the second MEMS sound transducer also includes a cavity, this second cavity being formed at least partially in the third substrate and advantageously additionally in the first substrate.
  • the modular design of the sound transducer arrangement thus advantageously enables the ASIC module to be connected to a further MEMS module, which comprises a third substrate and a second MEMS sound transducer.
  • This connection can also take place in particular by soldering, conductive adhesive and/or in another suitable manner, so that the first and the second substrate are at least electrically and preferably also positively, non-positively and/or cohesively connected to one another.
  • the two MEMS modules can essentially be designed with the same or different characteristic properties.
  • the acoustic transducer arrangement equipped with two MEMS modules usually has a better performance, in particular in the form of a greater bandwidth and/or greater sound pressure, than if it were equipped with only a single MEMS module.
  • the two cavities of the MEMS sound transducers are separated from one another by an intermediate wall of the first substrate, with the two cavities thus not influencing one another.
  • the intermediate wall preferably has at least one connection opening extending from the first cavity to the second cavity, so that there is a flow connection between the two cavities and the volume of one cavity is increased by the volume of the other cavity.
  • the partition wall has at least one stiffening element, in particular in the form of a rib, which stabilizes the partition wall and thus prevents, or at least significantly reduces, deformation and/or oscillation of the partition wall.
  • the two cavities preferably have volumes of different sizes.
  • the cavity volume can be a characteristic in which the MEMS modules differ.
  • the substrates namely the first, second and third substrate, are each designed as a circuit board or PCB (printed circuit board) and/or are produced using PCB technology.
  • PCB printed circuit board
  • the first, second and third substrates are each a PCB substrate, ie a printed circuit board that is made up of one or preferably multiple layers, the multiple layers being arranged on top of one another in the manner of a sandwich and/or being connected to one another, preferably with a material bond.
  • the first substrate can have a recess for the integrative accommodation of the ASIC, which is designed, for example, as a printed circuit board cavity with a sufficiently large volume that the ASIC can be arranged or embedded therein.
  • further components in particular passive components such as electrical resistors and/or I/O contacts, can also be embedded in and/or arranged on the first substrate.
  • the housing part and/or the sound-conducting element preferably consist of a material that is different from the substrate, in particular a plastic and/or metal.
  • the substrates are manufactured separately from one another.
  • the ASIC is embedded or encapsulated in the production of the first substrate.
  • the ASIC and/or additional active and/or passive electronic components are fully integrated in the first substrate.
  • the second substrate is manufactured separately together with the MEMS sound transducer.

  • the intermediate wall can also have at least one connection opening extending from the first cavity 41 to the second cavity 42, which is not shown here, however. This connection opening then enables a flow connection between the two cavities, so that the volume of one cavity is increased by the volume of the other cavity in each case.
  • the figure 14 shows an eighth exemplary embodiment of the sound transducer arrangement 1.
  • the sound transducer arrangement 1 of this eighth exemplary embodiment additionally includes a third substrate 30 with a second MEMS sound transducer 31.

  • the housing part 50 is also connected to the first substrate 10, the second substrate 20 and the third substrate 30 in such a way that a first and a second sound-conducting channel 61, 67 are formed.

  • the substantially opposing wall sections 87a of the substrate 80 are thicker than the wall sections 87b of the substrate 80, the thicker wall sections 87a projecting into the cavity 89 in relation to the wall sections 87b.
  • the MEMS actuator 22 then rests on the projections 88 formed by the wall sections 87a, while the membrane frame 25 rests, in particular over the entire circumference, both on the wall sections 87a and 87b.
