Abstract: Micro-electromechanical switch (MEMS) devices can be fabricated using integrated circuit fabrication techniques and materials. Such switch devices can provide cycle life and insertion loss performance suiting for use in a broad range of applications including, for example, automated test equipment (ATE), switching for measurement instrumentation (such as a spectrum analyzer, network analyzer, or communication test system), and uses in communication systems, such as for signal processing. MEMS devices can be vulnerable to electrical over-stress, such as associated with electrostatic discharge (ESD) transient events. A solid-state clamp circuit can be incorporated in a MEMS device package to protect one or more MEMS devices from damaging overvoltage conditions. The clamp circuit can include single or multiple blocking junction structures having complementary current-voltage relationships, such as to help linearize a capacitance-to-voltage relationship presented by the clamp circuit.
