    Abstract: A three-dimensional micro-electromechanical (MEM) varactor is described wherein a movable beam (50) and fixed electrodes (51) are respectively fabricated on separate substrates coupled to each other. The movable beam with comb-drive electrodes are fabricated on the 'chip side' while the fixed bottom electrode is fabricated on a separated substrate 'carrier side'. Upon fabrication of the device on both surfaces of the substrate, the chip side device is diced and 'flipped over', aligned and joined to the 'carrier' substrate to form the final device. Comb-drive (fins) electrodes are used for actuation while the motion of the electrode provides changes in capacitance. Due to the constant driving forces involved, a large capacitance tuning range can be obtained. The three dimensional aspect of the device avails large surface area. When large aspect ratio features are provided, a lower actuation voltage can be used. Upon fabrication, the MEMS device is completely encapsulated, requiring no additional packaging of the device. Further, since alignment and bonding can be done on a wafer scale (wafer scale MEMS packaging), an improved device yield can be obtained at a lower cost.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a device comprising a base substrate(700) with a micro component (702) attached thereto. Suitably it is provided with routing elements (704) for conducting signals to and from said component (702). It also comprises spacer members (706) which also can act as conducting structures for routing signals vertically. There is a capping structure (708) of a glass material, provided above the base substrate (700), bonded via said spacer members (706), preferably by eutectic bonding, wherein the capping structure (708) comprises vias (710) comprising metal for providing electrical connection through said capping structure. The vias can be made by a stamping/pressing method entailing pressing needles under heating to soften the glass and applying pressure, to a predetermined depth in the glass. However, other methods are possible, e-g- drilling, etching, blasting.

    Abstract: The present subject matter relates to systems and methods for arranging and controlling programmable combinations of tuning elements in which more than one form of switching technology is combined in a single array. Specifically, such an array can include one or more first switchable elements including a first switching technology (e.g., one or more solid-state-controlled devices) and one or more second switchable elements including a second switching technology that is different than the first switching technology (e.g., one or more micro-electro-mechanical capacitors). The one or more first switchable elements and the one or more second switchable elements can be configured, however, to deliver a combined variable reactance.
