- FIG. 9 illustrates a stereo assembly drawing of the microphone package structure of the preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- These L-like trenches 312 in the Figure are formed by inclining the connective area of the substrate surface 310 downwards, and a protrusion between the pairs of the trenches 312 exists in order to form a bolt-connective structure of rectangular serration after the connection of the upper cap 360 and the main body 310 .
- This provides better ability to connect than the circular trench 212 in FIG. 5 .
- Both the connective area of the trench 312 and upper cap 360 are interactive inclined planes, and the upper cap 360 includes an acoustic hole 361 that could be rectangle or non-rectangle.

- the L-like trench maintains a separation difference with the bounding pad 330 .
- the separation distance between the bounding pad 330 and the trench 313 is enough to prevent the extra conductive past 350 from being pressed to the plane of the bounding pad 330 , which would make an unnecessary short circuit.

- the upper cap 380 including an acoustic hole 381 could be rectangle or non-rectangle.
- the inclined plane structure decreases the opportunity for the conductive paste 350 to be pressed by the upper cap 280 onto the sound processing unit 220 plane.
- extra connective paste 350 would be pressed to the outside of the package structure, making it easy to erase.
- the trench 314 excludes extra connective paste 350 , as the trench 312 in FIG. 9 , and also allows for a stronger bolt-connected structure than the botl-connected structure for the trench 313 in FIG. 10 .
- a gap between the substrate and the connective paste is maintained so that the connective paste smeared on the surface of the trench will not easily be pressed onto the bounding pad by the upper cap and create a short circuit between the bounding pads.
- the connective area of the upper cap and the substrate in the microphone package structure is the connective area of the upper cap and the substrate in the microphone package structure, and the connective area is smeared with the connective paste. Therefore, the increased effectiveness of a circular electromagnetic shelter could be established, and it could not only raise the durability of a microphone but also decrease the maintenance cost.
- the structures of the lower part of the upper cap and the surface of the trench are designed as a combination of the inclined and flat plane. This design prevents the connective paste from overflowing to the outside of the package structure and prevent a short circuit being caused by the overflowing of the connective paste effectively; moreover, the bolt-connected structure of the substrate and upper cap would be more stable and stronger.
Abstract

There would be at least one trench set on the substrate, and a separation gap between the trench and the bounding pad of the substrate is maintained. After connective paste is smeared on the surface of the substrate, the trench would be assembled with other devices. This kind of package structure could prevent a short circuit being caused by the overflowing of the connective paste.
Description
- The present application is based on, and claims priority from, Taiwan Application Serial Number b 95102675, filed Jan. 24, 2006, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
- 1. Field of Invention
- The present invention relates generally to the package structure of microphone, and more particularly to the package structure of microphone with avoiding the short circuit caused by the overflowing of the conductive paste.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- Modern electromagnetic communication is frequently facilitated by hand held and home based wireless communication devices. Nowadays, dense signal transmissions in mobile telephones cause serious interference in the amplifier circuit of the microphone. This phenomenon usually happens between popular mobile telephones and the microphones.
- Reference is made to
FIG. 1 , which illustrates a stereo assembly drawing of a related microphone package structure. The package structure comprises thebody 100, thesubstrate 110,sound processing unit 120,bounding pad 130,conductive line 140 and theupper cap 160. - The
substrate 110 includes the circuit board and thesound processing unit 120 is set on the circuit board with theconductive line 140 and thebounding pad 130. Thesubstrate connection 111 is also prepared to connect to theconnection 161 on theupper cap 160, and theacoustic hole 162 is on theupper cap 160. - Reference is made to
FIG. 1 andFIG. 2 , which illustrate profiles of the package structure of the microphone. The boundingpad 130 is on the same plate as thesubstrate connection 111, moreover, these boundingpads 130 are separated by a short distance. After smearing theconductive paste 150 on thesubstrate connection 111, theupper cap 160 can be attached to thebody 100. Theconductive paste 150 may make two boundingpads 130 conductive when theupper cap 160 presses theconductive paste 150. This unnecessary short circuit would disable thesound processing unit 120. (In order to illustrate the relative position between theconductive paste 150 and theupper cap 160, there are only two sides of theconductive paste 150 except for the front part, and so are the other profiles.) - A good connection cannot be established between the
body 100 and theupper cap 160. If this package structure were hit by a foreign force, the middle of thebody 100 andupper cap 160 would slide so that the appearance and the reliability of the package structure would be diminished. - The problems as mentioned about the known technology could disable the sound gathering and processing functions; therefore, the reliability and quality of the microphone would be diminished and the maintenance cost of the microphone would increase, but all these problems can be improved by the present invention.
- In order to not only solve the aforementioned and other problems, but also achieve the technical benefits which this invention advocates, the present invention provides a microphone package structure that prevents the short circuit caused by the conductive paste overflow.
- It is the objective of the present invention to provide a microphone package structure which forms at least one trench in the connection between the substrate and the upper cap, and a gap between this trench and the bounding pad is maintained.
- It is another objective of the present invention to provide a microphone package structure whose electromagnetic shelter is more effective. The effectiveness of the electromagnetic shelter around the sound processing unit can be improved by smearing conductive paste on the substrate trench inside the microphone.
- According to the aforementioned objectives of the present invention, a microphone package structure with a trench is provided. In one embodiment of the present invention, the substrate connection is attached with one trench formed in the lower part of the upper cap downward. This trench could be a circular trench, a rectangular trench or a trench of another shape. The trench shape depends on the shape of the substrate. These trenches could also be plural trenches. For example, if the lower surface of the upper cap is divided into discrete sections, a trench could be formed in each of these discrete sections resulting in a plurality of trenches. Through this method, the connective area between the substrate and the upper cap would be increased, the connection boosted, and the pressure from upper cap caused by the conductive paste smeared on the surface of the trenches would prevent short circuits between the bounding pads of the substrate.
- According to the objective of the present invention, a package structure which can increase the effectiveness of the electromagnetic shelter of the microphone is provided. In one embodiment of the present invention, it is necessary to smear a layer of conductive paste on the trench surface next to the substrate before the connection and between the substrate and upper cap, which forms the package structure of microphone. As a result, there would be a circular electromagnetic shelter effect in the sound processing unit which is set on the substrate after the connection between the substrate and upper cap.
- The microphone package structure of the present invention could not only eliminate the disabilities of the electronic units using earlier technology, which commonly has conductive paste overflowing, but also provide a package structure for the electronic unit with a more effective electromagnetic shelter.

substrate 210 connects to theconnective area 271 of the upper cap (as the spotted area in theFIG. 5 ). The upper surface of theconnective area 210 of the substrate has arectangular trench 212 formed in it.

The bottom of thetrench 212 inFIG. 6 would be transformed into an inclined plane outward from thesubstrate 210; therefore there would be anew trench 213. Besides, anupper cap 280 comprises anacoustic hole 281, and the upper cap could be a rectangle or some other shape. - The
trench 213 maintains altitude fixed separation difference from thebounding pad 230, and the downward incline of the bottom could prevent short circuits caused by theconductive paste 250 which is pressed by theupper cap 280 on thebounding pad 230. Also, the extraconductive paste 250 would be pressed to the outside of thesubstrate 210. The shape of thetrench 213 could be rectangular or circular and thetrench 213 is a concave inclined plane which is connected to each other with the connective area of theupper cap 280. - Reference is made to
FIG. 8 , which illustrates a top view of the microphone package structure of the preferred embodiment of the present invention. Amain body 300 comprises asubstrate 310, asound processing unit 320, abounding pad 330 and awire 340. - Four L-
like trenches 311 are formed beneath the four corners of thesubstrate 310. Moreover, thesubstrate 310 contains a circuit board withsound processing unit 320, and the necessary electronic connection would be done through thewire 340 and thebounding pad 330. The trench forms an interval between the pairs and secured by a bolt structure that is more secure than the aforementioned mono-circular trench form (like thetrench 212 and 213). Besides, thesubstrate 310 could be rectangular or non-rectangle. - Reference is made to
FIG. 9 , which illustrates a stereo assembly drawing of the microphone package structure of the preferred embodiment of the present invention. These L-like trenches 312 in the Figure are formed by inclining the connective area of thesubstrate surface 310 downwards, and a protrusion between the pairs of thetrenches 312 exists in order to form a bolt-connective structure of rectangular serration after the connection of theupper cap 360 and themain body 310. This provides better ability to connect than thecircular trench 212 inFIG. 5 . Both the connective area of thetrench 312 andupper cap 360 are interactive inclined planes, and theupper cap 360 includes anacoustic hole 361 that could be rectangle or non-rectangle. - Reference is made to
FIGS. 10 and 11 , which illustrate a stereo assembly drawing and a profile of the microphone package structure of the preferred embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the Figure, the L-like trench maintains a separation difference with thebounding pad 330. After theupper cap 370 is connected to thesubstrate 310 by theconductive paste 350, although the bottom of thetrench 313 is flat, the separation distance between thebounding pad 330 and thetrench 313 is enough to prevent the extra conductive past 350 from being pressed to the plane of thebounding pad 330, which would make an unnecessary short circuit. Therefore, the separation difference provides a stronger bolt-connective structure than thetrench 312 in theFIG. 9 . Theupper cap 370 includes anacoustic hole 371 that could be rectangle or non-rectangle. - Reference is made to
FIG. 12 , which illustrates a profile of the microphone package structure of the preferred embodiment of the present invention. The trenches of thesubstrate 310 are four L-like trenches, and they not only are concave but also have an inclined plane that matches the connective area of theupper cap 380. Theupper cap 380 including anacoustic hole 381 could be rectangle or non-rectangle. - When the
upper cap 380 connects to thesubstrate 310, the inclined plane structure decreases the opportunity for theconductive paste 350 to be pressed by theupper cap 280 onto thesound processing unit 220 plane. Thus, extraconnective paste 350 would be pressed to the outside of the package structure, making it easy to erase. - The
trench 314 excludes extraconnective paste 350, as thetrench 312 inFIG. 9 , and also allows for a stronger bolt-connected structure than the botl-connected structure for thetrench 313 inFIG. 10 . - According to the composition and the embodiments above, there are many advantages of the present invention over the prior art, such as:
- 1. In the current invention, a gap between the substrate and the connective paste is maintained so that the connective paste smeared on the surface of the trench will not easily be pressed onto the bounding pad by the upper cap and create a short circuit between the bounding pads.
- 2. Around the sound processing unit is the connective area of the upper cap and the substrate in the microphone package structure, and the connective area is smeared with the connective paste. Therefore, the increased effectiveness of a circular electromagnetic shelter could be established, and it could not only raise the durability of a microphone but also decrease the maintenance cost.
- 3. The structures of the lower part of the upper cap and the surface of the trench are designed as a combination of the inclined and flat plane. This design prevents the connective paste from overflowing to the outside of the package structure and prevent a short circuit being caused by the overflowing of the connective paste effectively; moreover, the bolt-connected structure of the substrate and upper cap would be more stable and stronger.
- It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made to the structure of the present invention without departing from the scope or spirit of the invention. In view of the foregoing, it is intended that the present invention cover modifications and variations of this invention provided they fall within the scope of the following claims and their equivalents.
