This book illustrates a novel RF MEMS capacitive switch design that is Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) process-compatible. The switch structure is cantilever with fingers for capacitive coupling. The vertical bending characteristic of bimorph cantilever beams under different temperatures is utilized to turn the switch on and off. A set of electrical, mechanical, and thermal models is established, and cross-domain electro-thermo-mechanical simulations are performed to optimize the design parameters of the switch.

Produktbeschreibung
This book illustrates a novel RF MEMS capacitive
switch design that is Complementary Metal-Oxide
Semiconductor (CMOS) process-compatible. The switch
structure is cantilever with fingers for capacitive
coupling. The vertical bending characteristic of
bimorph cantilever beams under different temperatures
is utilized to turn the switch on and off. A set of
electrical, mechanical, and thermal models is
established, and cross-domain
electro-thermo-mechanical simulations are performed
to optimize the design parameters of the switch.
This switch has a vast number of applications in the
RF/microwave field, such as configurable voltage
control oscillators, filters, and configurable
matching networks.
To illustrate the applications of the switch, two
broadband communication applications for the designed
MEMS switch, broadband voltage controlled oscillator
(VCO) and broadband filter, were demonstrated. The
low-loss, low-noise nature of the MEMS switch
improved VCO phase noise performance. In addition, we
demonstrate the use of MEMS switches to enable large
corner frequency adjustments in high-frequency,
lowpass filter designs.
