Abstract

In an example, the present invention provides a micro-speaker device. The device has a movable diaphragm device comprising a thickness of silicon or graphene material which has a first surface and a second surface opposite of the first surface. The device has a housing enclosing the movable diaphragm device, the electrode device and an encapsulation device. The electrode device can be part of a CMOS device with electronics integrated on to the device. The device has a vented enclosure opposite of the movable diaphragm to allow air to move in and out of the one or more vent openings to generate a sound pressure signal. The diaphragm can be electrostatically actuated from one or more surfaces that include the electrode device and the encapsulation device.
