    摘要: An RF switch and a process for fabricating an RF switch which includes multiple throws and can be fabricated utilizing only a single layer of metallization. The switch in accordance with the present invention includes an airbridge suspended beam disposed adjacent to one or more metal traces. One or more control pads are disposed adjacent to the airbridged suspended beam to operate the switch electrostatically. The suspended beam as well as the metal traces and contact pads are all fabricated with a single metallization layer. The switch is configured such that deflection of the beam is in a plane generally parallel to the plane of the substrate. By eliminating multiple metallization layers, the complexity for fabricating the switch is greatly reduced. Moreover, the switch configuration also allows multiple throws and multiple poles using a single level of metallization.

    摘要: A switching signal having multiple sequential pulses is applied to a MEMS switch. A first pulse moves the switch from a first switch position toward a second switch position. After a selected dwell period, a second pulse is applied to dampen ringing or overshoot of the movable portions of the switch. In a further embodiment, non-symmetrical switching signals are used to cycle the switch from the first state to the second state, and back to the first.

    摘要: A power switching device is disclosed that achieves a complete, mechanical “on” and “off” electrical circuit. The device is a rapid micro-relay that comprises two separate systems: a control driving signal system and a voltage delivery system. Its electrostatic actuator and switching connectors are electrically separated, inhibiting interference between the two systems. The micro-relay can optionally be adapted to support multiple voltage delivery systems for separate circuits.
