Executive Summary

This full reverse costing study has been conducted to provide insight on technology data, manufacturing costand selling price of the Infineon Sealed Dual Membrane (SDM) XENSIVTM MEMS microphone. Thismicrophone, sold by Goertek, was found in the Apple AirPods Pro.

Presented in 2019, Infineon SDM XENSIVTM is the newest Infineon MEMS microphone technology. This newMEMS microphone structure uses two movable membranes mechanically coupled by electrically insulatingcolumns to enable a differential read-out process. Between the two membranes, a reduced atmosphericpressure is present where the backplate electrode is suspended: it is a sealed dual-membrane design.

Compared to the previous MEMS microphone technology from Infineon: dual-backplate (2014), the sealed dual-membrane (2019) uses one backplate and two mechanically coupled membranes instead of two backplates andone membrane for 2014 design. According to Infineon, this new design enables practically noise-free audiosignal capturing.

This report includes a comparison between Infineon MEMS microphone technologies: dual-backplate and sealeddual-membrane in Goertek microphones. The comparisons highlight differences in terms of structure, process,and cost.
