(54) | Microphone |
(57) There is provided a microphone which does not require a capsule and is made small,
and whose production cost is reduced. There is also provided a microphone utilizing
optical signals for surface mounting, in which the light emission element and the
light-receiving element are hardly broken due to the heat at the time of soldering.
Specifically, a membrane frame and a membrane support disposed on a substrate are
bonded, the membrane support and a sidewall of the membrane frame are designated as
a microphone sidewall, and an upper face of the membrane frame is designated as a
microphone top plate. Diameter of the substrate is made larger than that of the membrane
support, and a soldering terminal on the substrate is disposed between the membrane
support and the substrate end face. |
