#MEMS: "Microphones Stud Smartphones to Tune of $1 Billion"

MEMS microphones are finding all sorts of sophisticated applications--from noise canceling and beam forming to locating your fingers in 3-D for mid-air gesture recognition: R. Colin Johnson @NextGenLog


Infineon only makes microphone die, but they well over 1 billion per year to MEMS microphone makers.


STMicroelectronics made every part of this tiny bottom ported MEMS microphone except the diaphragm it sourced from Omron.
