| Abstract | This work demonstrates a capacitive RF (radio frequency) MEMS (micro-electromechanical systems) switch, which is actuated by electro-thermal force and electrostatic force at the same time, and than latching the switching status by electrostatic force only. Since thermal actuator need relative low voltage compare to electrostatic actuator, for electrostatic force need almost no power to maintain the switching status. The benefit of this mechanism is very low actuation voltage and low power consumption. This RF MEMS switch has considered the issues for integrated circuit compatible including process and package between MEMS device and IC (integrated circuit). So it fabricated by standard 0.35 mum 2P4M (double polysilicon four metal) CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) process and then post- processed by wet etching. The structure of the switch consists of a set of CPW (coplanar waveguides) transmission lines and a suspended membrane. Both the CPW and the membrane are the metal layers in CMOS structure. Besides, electro-thermal actuators are designed by polysilicon layer because of the higher resistance than metal. So one of the main advantages of the RF switch is only CMOS process layers are needed for both electro-thermal and electrostatic actuations in switch. Moreover, the bimorph thermal actuator is designed by a stacked step structure including two metal layers, so no additional MEMS processes are needed. Measured results show that the actuation voltage of the switch is around 7 V. The insertion loss of the RF switch in the "ON" state is -2.5 dB at 5 GHz, and the isolation of the "OFF" state is -4.1 dB relatively. |

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.
