Abstract:
A surface mount package for a micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) microphone die is disclosed. The surface mount package features a substrate with metal pads for surface mounting the package to a device's printed circuit board and for making electrical connections between the microphone package and the device's circuit board. The surface mount microphone package has a cover, and the MEMS microphone die is substrate-mounted and acoustically coupled to an acoustic port provided in the surface mount package. The substrate and the cover are joined together to form the MEMS microphone, and the substrate and cover cooperate to form an acoustic chamber for the substrate-mounted MEMS microphone die.

Claim (Index 1):
An acoustic component comprising:\n a substantially planar multilayer printed circuit board having first and second electrical interfaces, wherein the second electrical interface enables reflow solder attachment of the acoustic component to a user circuit board, the acoustic component comprising:\n a rigid top printed circuit board layer comprising a first non-conductive material layer with a first conductive layer disposed on an upper surface of the first non-conductive material layer, wherein the first conductive layer is patterned to form the first electrical interface comprising a plurality of conductive pads; \n a rigid bottom printed circuit board layer comprising a second non-conductive material layer with a second conductive layer disposed on a lower surface of the second non-conductive material layer, wherein the second conductive layer is pattered to form the second electrical interface comprising a plurality of flat solder pads, wherein the top and bottom printed circuit board layers are in facing relation to each other; \n a plurality of plated throughholes within the multilayer printed circuit board electrically coupling the plurality of conductive pads of the first interface to the plurality of flat solder pads of the second electrical interface; and \n a mounting region disposed along the periphery of the top printed circuit board layer; \n a micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) microphone die mounted to the upper surface of the top printed circuit board layer and electrically coupled to at least one of the conductive pads in the first electrical interface; and a single-piece microphone die protection member that includes an acoustic port,\n wherein the microphone die protection member is a solid material with a predetermined shape comprising a rectangular top portion and a substantially vertical and continuous sidewall portion that adjoins the top portion at an angle, the sidewall portion supporting the top portion, the sidewall portion having a predetermined height, an exterior sidewall surface, an interior sidewall surface, and an attachment surface, the acoustic port disposed in the top portion of the microphone die protection member and passing completely through the microphone die protection member, \n wherein the attachment surface of the sidewall portion of the microphone die protection member is aligned with and attached to the mounting region of the top printed circuit board layer, and \n wherein the predetermined height of the sidewall portion of the microphone die protection member, the interior sidewall surface of the sidewall portion of the microphone die protection member, and an interior surface of the top portion of the microphone die protection member, in cooperation with the upper surface of the top printed circuit board layer, provide a protective enclosure for the MEMS microphone die to reduce electromagnetic interference.
