MEMS microphones break design mould
Silicon micromachined microphones have recently begun to emerge
as a competitor technology to the electret condenser microphone
(ECM), a device first developed by Bell Labs way back in the 1960s.
Today, MEMS microphones amount to just tens of millions of units,
but by 2009 will have carved out an estimated $500 million piece
of the $2 billion total market for microphones — on average
every third microphone will be based on MEMS.Download:
