| Abstract | This paper presents a paradigm shift in RF MEMS, and shows the development of miniature switched capacitors for RF applications. The MEMS bridges are 21 /spl mu/m long by 8 /spl mu/m wide, and are 150-300/sup x/ smaller than the standard Raytheon switch or other switched capacitors as presented in G. M. Rebeiz (2003). The bridges are integrated in an N /spl times/ M array implemented in coplanar waveguide t-lines (CPW). The bridges are 3400 /spl Aring/ thick, and are suspended 2400 /spl Aring/ above the CPW center conductor (with a 1600 /spl Aring/ SiN layer), resulting in an actuation voltage of 25 V. The measured capacitance ratio of a single bridge is 2.8, and that of a 3 /spl times/ 20 arrays is 1.9. These MEMS switched capacitors have a very high spring constant, and correspondingly a very high pull-up force per unit contact area with the dielectric layer. They are not sensitive to charging in the dielectric layer and also, are not sensitive to temperature variation. Also, the simulated switching time is 250 ns for gold switches and 110 ns for Al switches. We believe that this design is very useful for high reliability RF MEMS switches in the coming years. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
