Abstract

See full text

MEMS microphones and MEMS devices. In one embodiment, the MEMS microphone includes a membrane and a layer. The membrane is coupled to a support. The layer includes a backplate and an overtravel stop. The backplate is coupled to the support. The overtravel stop is coupled to the membrane and is physically separated from the backplate by a gap in a radial direction. The overtravel stop has a first end that is oriented proximal to the membrane and a second end that is oriented distal to the membrane. The second end flares outward to restrict movement of the membrane in the radial direction by contacting the backplate.
