摘要: A circuit of N micromechanical resonant switches (resoswitches) is presented, which mimics a Dickson charge pump to amplify an input voltage to an output voltage of N plus 1 times the input voltage, while avoiding the diode voltage drop and breakdown voltage limitations of CMOS-based conventional charge pumps. Important aspects of successful charge pumping are: 1) the long cycle lifetime of resonant micromechanical switches, which has been shown to operate 173.9×1012 cycles, is orders of magnitude higher than non-resonant switches; 2) the use of gated-sinusoid drive excitation to allow a charging period independent of resoswitch resonance frequency; and 3) the use of resonance operation to lower required drive and DC-bias voltages to below the supply voltage. This mechanical charge pump obviates the need for custom high voltage CMOS for applications where large voltages are needed such as MEMS-based timing references, thereby allowing the use of virtually any CMOS process.

摘要: A device includes a substrate (308) and a metallic layer (336) formed over the substrate (308) with a deposition process for which the metallic layer (336) is characterizable as having a pre-determinable as-deposited defect density. As a result of a fabrication process, the defect density of the metallic layer (336) is reduced relative to the pre-determinable as-deposited defect density of the same layer (336) or another layer having like composition and which is formed under like deposition conditions. In a related method, a substrate (308) is provided and a removable layer (330) is formed over the substrate (308). A metallic layer (336) is formed over the removable layer (330) and is patterned and etched to define a structure over the removable layer (330). The removable layer (330) is removed, and the metallic layer (336) is heated for a time beyond that necessary for bonding of a hermetic sealing cap (340) thereover.

摘要: MEMS switches and methods of fabricating MEMS switches. The switch has a vertically oriented deflection electrode having a conductive layer supported by a supporting layer, at least one drive electrode, and a stationary electrode. An actuation voltage applied to the drive electrode causes the deflection electrode to be deflect laterally and contact the stationary electrode, which closes the switch. The deflection electrode is restored to a vertical position when the actuation voltage is removed, thereby opening the switch. The method of fabricating the MEMS switch includes depositing a conductive layer on mandrels to define vertical electrodes and then releasing the deflection electrode by removing the mandrel and layer end sections.
