    Abstract: A MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) switch actuated by electrostatic and piezoelectric forces, includes a substrate; a first contact point positioned in a predetermined first area on an upper surface of the substrate; a support layer suspended at a predetermined distance from the upper surface of the substrate; a second contact point formed on a lower surface of the support layer; a first actuator operative to move the support layer in a predetermined direction using an electrostatic force; and a second actuator operative to move the support layer in a predetermined direction using a piezoelectric force. The first actuator is used to turn on the MEMS switch. The second actuator can be used together with the first actuator to turn on the MEMS switch or can be separately used to turn off the MEMS switch. As a result, a stiction can be prevented from occurring between contact points.

    Abstract: A MEMS RF-switch is provided for controlling switching on/off of transmission of AC signals. The MEMS RF-switch of the present invention includes: a first electrode coupled to one terminal of the power source; a semiconductor layer combined with an upper surface of the first electrode, and forming a potential barrier to become insulated when a bias signal is applied from the power source; and a second electrode disposed at a predetermined distance away from the semiconductor layer, and being coupled to the other terminal of the power source, wherein the second electrode contacts the semiconductor layer when a bias signal is applied from the power source. Therefore, although the bias signal may not be cut off, free electrons and holes are recombined in the semiconductor layer, whereby charge buildup and sticking can be prevented.
