A MEMS switch includes a lower substrate having a signal line on an upper surface of the lower substrate; an upper substrate, having a cavity therein, disposed apart from the upper surface of the lower substrate by a distance, and having a membrane layer on a lower surface of the upper substrate; a bimetal layer formed in the cavity of the upper substrate on the membrane layer; a heating layer formed on a lower surface of the membrane layer; and a contact member formed on a lower surface of the heating layer. The contact member can come into contact with or separate from the signal line. A method for manufacturing the MEMS switch includes preparing the upper and lower substrates and combining them so that a surface having the signal line faces a surface having the contact member and the upper and lower substrates are disposed apart by a distance.

A vertical comb actuator radio frequency (RF) micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) switch. The RF MEMS switch includes a substrate; first and second signal lines spaced at a predetermined interval from each other and deposited on an upper surface of the substrate; an actuator positioned over the first and second signal lines when viewed from the upper surface of the substrate and spaced at a predetermined interval from the first and second signal lines; and a fixing portion positioned over the actuator when viewed from the upper surface of the substrate, wherein the fixing portion permits the actuator to come in contact with the first and second signal lines when a predetermined driving voltage is applied. Thus, it is possible to prevent the actuator from sticking to the substrate. In addition, the RF MEMS switch can be operated with a low voltage and insertion loss and power loss can be reduced.

摘要:
A MEMS switch includes a substrate, at least one signal line and at least one electrode formed on the substrate, and a moving beam disposed in a spaced-apart relation with respect to the substrate above the substrate so as to be connected with or disconnected from the signal line according to an operation of the electrode. The moving beam includes at least one body, and at least one support to support the body. The body has a modulus of elasticity larger than that of the support. The MEMS switch prevents the moving beam from being stuck and increases a contact force generating between the moving beam and the signal line, thereby enabling a signal to be stably transmitted.
