A single crystal silicon micromachined capacitive microphone is disclosed. The microphone comprises a flexible plate made from a bottom layer of a first epitaxial single crystal silicon layer, a stiff and perforated plate made from a portion of a second epitaxial single crystal silicon layer, a supporting frame is made from a combination of lateral overgrowth of the first epitaxial single crystal silicon layer and a polysilicon layer grown or deposited on the surface of an insulating layer, and an air gap is formed by etching a portion of the first epitaxial single crystal silicon layer. Both the first epitaxial single crystal silicon layer and the second epitaxial single crystal silicon layer are developed from a single crystal silicon substrate. A micromaching technology based on selective formation and etching of porous single crystal silicon layers is used to make the microphone structure.
