    摘要: A micro-electromechanical (MEM) RF switch provided with a deflectable membrane (60) activates a switch contact or plunger (40). The membrane incorporates interdigitated metal electrodes (70) which cause a stress gradient in the membrane when activated by way of a DC electric field. The stress gradient results in a predictable bending or displacement of the membrane (60), and is used to mechanically displace the switch contact (30). An RF gap area (25) located within the cavity (250) is totally segregated from the gaps (71) between the interdigitated metal electrodes (70). The membrane is electrostatically displaced in two opposing directions, thereby aiding to activate and deactivate the switch. The micro-electromechanical switch includes: a cavity (250); at least one conductive path (20) integral to a first surface bordering the cavity; a flexible membrane (60) parallel to the first surface bordering the cavity (250), the flexible membrane (60) having a plurality of actuating electrodes (70); and a plunger (40) attached to the flexible membrane (60) in a direction away from the actuating electrodes (70), the plunger (40) having a conductive surface that makes electric contact with the conductive paths, opening and closing the switch.

    摘要: A multilevel air-gap-containing interconnect structure and a method of fabricating the same are provided. The multilevel air-gap-containing interconnect structure includes a collection of interspersed line levels and via levels, with via levels comprising conductive vias embedded in one or more dielectric layers in which the dielectric layers are solid underneath and above line features in adjacent levels, and perforated between line features. The line levels contain conductive lines and an air-gap-containing dielectric. A solid dielectric bridge layer, containing conductive contacts and formed by filling in a perforated dielectric layer, is disposed over the collection of interspersed line and via levels.
