    Abstract: A MEMS switch contains an RF electrode 102, pull-down electrodes 104 and anchor electrodes 108 located on a substrate 101. A plurality of islands 226 are provided in the pull-down electrode and electrically isolated therefrom. On top of the RF electrode is the RF contact 206 to which the MEMS-bridge 212, 214 forms an ohmic contact in the pulled-down state. The pull-down electrodes 104 are covered with a dielectric layer 202 to avoid a short-circuit between the bridge and the pull-down electrode. Contact stoppers 224 are disposed on the dielectric layer 202 at locations corresponding to the islands 226, and the resulting gap between the bridge and the dielectric layer in the pulled-down state reduces dielectric charging. In alternative embodiments, the contact stoppers are provide within the dielectric layer 202 or disposed on the islands themselves and under the dielectric layer. The switch provides good controllability of the contact resistance of MEMS switches over a wide voltage operating range.

    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to methods for producing MEMS or NEMS devices and the devices themselves. A thin layer of a material having a lower recombination coefficient as compared to the cantilever structure may be deposited over the cantilever structure, the RF electrode and the pull-off electrode. The thin layer permits the etching gas introduced to the cavity to decrease the overall etchant recombination rate within the cavity and thus, increase the etching rate of the sacrificial material within the cavity. The etchant itself may be introduced through an opening in the encapsulating layer that is linearly aligned with the anchor portion of the cantilever structure so that the topmost layer of sacrificial material is etched first. Thereafter, sealing material may seal the cavity and extend into the cavity all the way to the anchor portion to provide additional strength to the anchor portion.

    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a method for forming a MEMS device and a MEMS device formed by the method. When forming the MEMS device, sacrificial material is deposited around the switching element within the cavity body. The sacrificial material is eventually removed to free the switching element in the cavity. The switching element has a thin dielectric layer thereover to prevent etchant interaction with the conductive material of the switching element. During fabrication, the dielectric layer is deposited over the sacrificial material. To ensure good adhesion between the dielectric layer and the sacrificial material, a silicon rich silicon oxide layer is deposited onto the sacrificial material before depositing the dielectric layer thereon.

    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a method of fabricating a MEMS device. In the MEMS device, a movable plate is disposed within a cavity such that the movable plate is movable within the cavity. To form the cavity, sacrificial material may be deposited and then the material of the movable plate is deposited thereover. The sacrificial material is removed to free the mov able plate to move within the cavity. The sacrificial material, once deposited, may not be sufficiently planar because the height difference between the lowest point and the highest point of the sacrificial material may be quite high. To ensure the movable plate is sufficiently planar, the planarity of the sacrificial material should be maximized. To maximize the surface planarity of the sacrificial material, the sacrificial material may be deposited and then conductive heated to permit the sacrificial material to reflow and thus, be planarized.

    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to an RF MEMS DVC and a method for manufacture thereof. To ensure that undesired grain growth does not occur and contribute to an uneven RF electrode, a multilayer stack comprising an AlCu layer and a layer containing titanium may be used. The titanium diffuses into the AlCu layer at higher temperatures such that the grain growth of the AlCu will be inhibited and the switching element can be fabricated with a consistent structure, which leads to a consistent, predictable capacitance during operation.
