Differential sensing acoustic sensor
A MEMS device includes a first plate coupled to a second plate and a fixed third plate formed on a first substrate. The first and second plates are displaced in the presence of an acoustic pressure differential across the surfaces of the first plate. The MEMS device also includes a first electrode formed on the third plate and a second electrode formed on the second substrate. The first, second plate, and third plates are contained in an enclosure formed by a first and second substrates. The device includes an acoustic port to expose the first plate to the environment. The MEMS device also includes a first gap formed between the second and third plates and a second gap formed between the second plate and the second electrode. The displacement of the second plate causes the first gap to change inversely to the second gap.
