Abstract

See full text

A method of fabricating a plurality of MEMS microphone modules by providing a first substrate wafer 62 on which are mounted a plurality of sets comprising an LED 102, an IC chip 22 and a MEM microphone device 24, where the LED 102 and IC chip 22 are surrounded and separated by first spacers 104, 64A, 64, the spacer 104 being much taller, attaching a second substrate on top of the first spacer elements above the IC chip 22, mounting a MEMS microphone device 24 to the second substrate 60, the second substrate not extending over the LED 102, surrounding the MEMS microphone device by second spacers 32A, 32, attaching a cover wafer 28 across the whole first substrate wafer 62 covering all the plurality of sets, forming openings 30 to the MEMS cavities, dividing the substrate wafer 62 into individual MEMS microphone modules through the width of the separating spacers 104, 32, 64. Conductive traces may extend through the spacers. Also defined are MEMS modules without LED's, without stacking, on a single substrate, or on either side of a single substrate.
