Abstract:
An acoustic apparatus includes a back plate, a diaphragm, and at least one pillar. The diaphragm and the back plate are disposed in spaced relation to each other. At least one pillar is configured to at least temporarily connect the back plate and the diaphragm across the distance. The diaphragm stiffness is increased as compared to a diaphragm stiffness in absence of the pillar. The at least one pillar provides a clamped boundary condition when the diaphragm is electrically biased and the clamped boundary is provided at locations where the diaphragm is supported by the at least one pillar.

Claim (Index 20):
A microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) acoustic transducer die comprising:\n an electrical capacitor including a back plate and a diaphragm disposed in spaced apart relation to the back plate, the diaphragm having an at least partially constrained periphery; and at least one pillar disposed between the back plate and the diaphragm, the at least one pillar spaced apart from where the periphery of the diaphragm is at least partially constrained, a portion of the diaphragm between the at least one pillar and the periphery of the diaphragm unconstrained relative to the constrained periphery, wherein at least the portion of the diaphragm between the at least one pillar and the periphery is movable in the presence of a differential acoustic pressure when an electrical bias is applied between the diaphragm and the back plate, and wherein the portion of the diaphragm between the at least one pillar and the periphery has a double curve shape when the bias voltage is applied.
