Disclosed are a silicon based condenser microphone and a packaging method for the silicon based condenser microphone. The silicon based condenser microphone comprises a metal case, and a board which is mounted with a MEMS microphone chip and an ASIC chip having an electric voltage pump and a buffer IC and is formed with a connecting pattern for bonding with the metal case, wherein the connecting pattern is welded to the metal case. The method for packaging a silicon based condenser microphone includes the steps of inputting a board which is mounted with a MEMS chip and an ASIC chip and is formed with a connecting pattern; inputting a metal case, aligning the metal case on the connecting pattern of the board, and welding an opened end of the metal case to the connecting pattern of the board. Thus, the metal case is welded to the board by the laser.

An electret condenser microphone includes: a substrate 13 in which an opening 25 is formed; an electret condenser 50 connected to one face of the substrate 13 so as to close the opening 25 and having an acoustic hole 12 and a cavity 2; a drive circuit element 15 connected to the one face of the substrate 13; and a case 17 mounted over the substrate 13 so as to cover the electret condenser 50 and the drive circuit element 15. Electric contact is established at a joint part between the electret condenser 50 and the substrate 13. The acoustic hole 12 communicates with an external space through the opening 25. The cavity 2 and an internal region of the case 17 serve as a back air chamber for the electret condenser 50.

In the present invention, a semiconductor substrate wherein a plurality of MEMS microphones is formed is disposed opposed to a discharge electrode in a state of being stuck on a sheet. Electretization of a dielectric film provided in the MEMS microphone is performed by irradiating the dielectric film between a fixed electrode and a vibration film provided in the MEMS microphone with ions resulting from a corona discharge of the discharge electrode in a state that a predetermined potential difference is applied to the fixed electrode and the vibration film and fixing charges based on the ions to the dielectric film. The electretization is successively performed to each MEMS microphone on the semiconductor substrate by relatively moving the semiconductor substrate and the discharge electrode. Therefore, electretization of the dielectric film in the MEMS microphone chip is realized using a low-cost and simple fabricating equipment and productivity can be enhanced.
