Patent ID: 8218794

Claim:
A component with MEMS microphone, the component comprising: a housing that has a cavity; terminals arranged in the cavity; a sound inlet opening; SMT contacts on an outer side of the housing; and a MEMS chip with microphone function that is installed in the cavity of the housing and closing the sound inlet opening from the inside, the MEMS chip being connected by means of an electrically conductive connection to the terminals arranged in the cavity of the housing and being connected through the housing to the SMT contacts, the MEMS chip being in mechanically intimate contact with the housing with its surface lying opposite the electrically conductive connections, wherein a back side volume for the microphone function of the MEMS chip is expanded from the cavity in the housing to sides of the MEMS chip, and wherein the sound inlet opening is closed tightly by a surface of the MEMS chip, but on an opposite surface of the MEMS chip, between the housing and MEMS chip there is a connection suitable for quick pressure equalization between this surface and the cavity in the housing at sides of the MEMS chip.
