摘要:
The present invention relates to a capacitive micro-electro-mechanical switch and method of manufacturing the same. In the capacitive micro-electro-mechanical switch for use in the radio frequency (RF) and the microwave driven by the electrostatic force, a capacitor of a 3-dimensional structure is formed on a signal transmission line. An ON capacitance is increased without increasing an capacitor area while preventing an increase in an OFF capacitance using the capacitor. Thus, an ON/OFF capacitance ratio of the capacitive micro-electro-mechanical switch can be increased and insertion loss and isolation characteristic could be improved.

Provided is a radio frequency device using a micro-electronic-mechanical system (MEMS) technology that can be applied to a mobile communication area by reducing the operating voltage, while increasing the operating speed. The RF device of the present research includes: a substrate; a first electrode which is mounted on the substrate and forms an actuator, part of the first electrode not contacting the substrate; and a second electrode which is apart in a regular space from the substrate and forms an actuator, part of the second electrode being overlapped with the first electrode, wherein the first electrode and the second electrode contact each other at a contact point by an electrostatic attractive force generated between the two electrodes.
