摘要
Abstract
A new switching circuit is presented for the application in the frequency range of 0 to 8 GHz. This switch is electro-thermally actuated and exhibits high radio frequency (RF) performance due to its lateral contact mechanism. It composes of electroplated nickel and silicon nitride as structural materials. The isolation between bias and signal ports is realized by using silicon nitride. In the case of a small deformation, the relation between the displacement of the vertex and the pre-bending angle is analyzed. The metal contact is realized by in-plane motion and sidewall connection. The switches were fabricated using the MetalMUMPs process from MEMSCAP. The RF testing results show that the switch has a low insertion loss of 0. 9 dB at 8 GHz and a high isolation of 30 dB below 8 GHz.关键词
