摘要: Disclosed is a capacitive electrostatic MEMS RF switch comprised of a lower electrode that acts as both a transmission line and as an actuation electrode. Also, there is an array of one or more fixed beams above the lower electrode that is connected to ground. The lower electrode transmits the RF signal when the top beam or beams are up and when the upper beams are actuated and bent down, the transmission line is shunted to ground ending the RF transmission. A high dielectric constant material is used in the capacitive portion of the switch to achieve a high capacitance per unit area thus reducing the required chip area and enhancing the insertion loss characteristics in the non-actuated state. A gap between beam and lower electrode of less than 1 &mgr;m is incorporated in order to minimize the electrostatic potential (pull-in voltage) required to actuate the switch.

The method includes: forming a dielectric layer on a substrate; forming a lower trench in the dielectric layer; forming a liner in the lower trench and on the dielectric layer; forming a Cu seed layer over the liner; forming a resist layer on the Cu seed layer; forming an upper trench in the resist layer; electroplating Cu to completely fill the lower trench and at least partially fill the upper trench; removing the resist layer; selectively forming a passivation layer on all exposed Cu surfaces; selectively removing the Cu seed layer from regions of the liner; and removing the thus exposed regions of the liner from the dielectric layer, wherein a top surface of the inductor extends above a top surface of the dielectric layer, the passivation layer remaining on regions of sidewalls of the inductor above the top surface of the dielectric layer.

摘要: A microelectromechanical switch including: at least one pair of actuator electrodes; at least one input electrode and at least one output electrode for input and output, respectively, of a radio frequency signal; and a beam movable by an attraction between the at least one pair of actuator electrodes, the movable beam having at least a portion electrically connected to the at least one input electrode and to the at least one output electrode when moved by the attraction between the at least one pair of actuator electrodes to make an electrical connection between the at least one input and output electrodes; wherein the at least one pair of actuator electrodes are electrically isolated from each of the at least one input and output electrodes. The microelectromechanical switch can be configured in single or multiple-poles and/or single or multiple throws.
