Abstract
A microphone has a housing () defining an acoustic hole () and having inner faces. The microphone includes a MEMS capacitor () secured to and electrically connected with a first face () of the inner faces of the housing (), the first face defining the acoustic hole (), a detecting circuit () secured to and electrically connected with a second face () of the inner faces of the housing (), the second face () being not adjacent the first face (), the detecting circuit () detecting at least a change in the electrostatic capacity of the MEMS capacitor (). The microphone further includes a flexible substrate () secured to the first face () and the second face () and disposed under a bent state inside the housing (). The flexible substrate () establishes electrical connection between the MEMS capacitor () and the detecting circuit () via a wire electrically connecting the first face () and the second face ().
