Patent ID: 8605919

Claim:
A microphone having a housing defining an acoustic hole and having inner faces, comprising: a MEMS capacitor secured to and electrically connected with a first face of said inner faces of the housing, said first face defining said acoustic hole; a detecting circuit secured to and electrically connected with a second face of said inner faces of the housing, said second face being not adjacent said first face, said detecting circuit detecting at least a change in the electrostatic capacity of said MEMS capacitor; and a flexible substrate secured to said first face and said second face and disposed under a bent state inside said housing, said flexible substrate establishing electrical connection between said MEMS capacitor and said detecting circuit via a wire electrically connecting said first face and said second face, wherein said flexible substrate is configured such that the MEMS capacitor is mounted in the area of the flexible substrate secured to said first face, and wherein said flexible substrate is configured such that the detecting circuit is mounted in the area of the flexible substrate secured to said second face.
