Abstract

A microelectromechanical system package has a microelectromechanical system microphone, a substrate, and a cover. The substrate has a surface for supporting the microelectromechanical microphone. The cover includes a conductive layer having a center portion bounded by a peripheral edge portion. A housing is formed by connecting the peripheral edge portion of the cover to the substrate. The center portion of the cover is spaced from the surface of the substrate to accommodate the microelectromechanical system microphone. The housing includes an acoustic port for allowing an acoustic signal to reach the microelectromechanical system microphone.
