摘要

The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a MEMS capacitor microphone and further to such MEMS capacitor microphone. With the method a MEMS capacitor microphone can be manufactured by stacking pre-processed foils (10) having a conductive layer (11a,11b) on at least one side. After stacking, the foils (10) are sealed, using pressure and heat. Finally the MEMS capacitor microphones are separated from the stack (S). The pre-processing of the foils (preferably done by means of a laser beam) comprises a selection of the following steps: (A) leaving the foil intact, (B) locally removing the conductive layer, (C) removing the conductive layer and partially evaporating the foil (10), and (D) removing both the conductive layer as well as foil (10), thus making holes in the foil (10). In combination with said stacking, it is possible to create cavities and membranes. This opens up the possibility of manufacturing MEMS capacitor microphone.
