Abstract:
Aspects of the disclosure provide a packaging technique for making a directional microphone which employs mechanical structures to cancel undesired background noise to realize the directional function instead of an extra sensor required in electronic noise-cancelling techniques, thus reducing the footprint and cost of a directional microphone. A directional microphone based on this technique can include an acoustic sensor and a housing enclosing the acoustic sensor. The acoustic sensor can include a sensing diaphragm, a cavity below the sensing diaphragm, and a first substrate. The directional microphone device can further includes a channel with an inlet open at an edge of the first substrate and an outlet connected with the cavity. The housing can include a cover attached to a second substrate supporting the first substrate. The cover can include a first opening over the sensing diaphragm and a second opening at a side of the cover.

Claim (Index 1):
A device, comprising,\n an acoustic sensor having\n a sensing diaphragm configured to sense sound pressure, \n a cavity below the sensing diaphragm, and \n a first substrate; \n a channel with an inlet open at an edge of the first substrate and an outlet connected with the cavity; and a housing enclosing the acoustic sensor, the housing having a cover attached to a second substrate supporting the first substrate; wherein the cover includes a first opening over the sensing diaphragm, and a second opening at a side of the cover, the second opening being disposed adjacent to the inlet of the channel.
