A silicon subminiature microphone, based on the piezoelectric effect of organic films such as aromatic polyurea, PVDF, and PVDF/TrFE, is proposed. The acoustical sensor is fabricated using a slightly modified integrated circuit technology process and a standard micromechanical fabrication procedure. The main production steps of this hybrid sensor are given, including the fabrication of the mechanical part of the sensor, the deposition or spin coating of the films, and the poling of the polymer layers.
