SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PACKAGING AN ACOUSTIC DEVICE IN AN INTEGRATED CIRCUIT (IC)
Systems and methods for packaging an acoustic device in an integrated circuit (IC) include walls formed on a wiring substrate.

The walls are positioned on either side of the acoustic device and a small portion lies underneath an exterior edge of the acoustic device such that a relatively small gap is formed between an upper surface of the wall and the lower surface of the acoustic device. By providing a small gap between wall and acoustic device, encroachment by an encapsulating material into a keep out zone of the acoustic device is minimized.
