Abstract
A microphone device includes a substrate having a first surface, a wall disposed on the first surface, a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) transducer, and an integrated circuit. Both the MEMS transducer and the integrated circuit are mounted on the first surface of the wall. The wall separates the MEMS transducer from the integrated circuit and acoustically isolates the MEMS transducer from the integrated circuit. The microphone device additionally includes a first set of wires extending through the wall and electrically connecting the MEMS transducer to the integrated circuit. The microphone device further includes a second set of wires electrically connecting the integrated circuit to a conductor on the substrate.
