摘要: An electrostatically actuated broadband ohmic microswitch has been developed for RF and microwave applications. The switch is a three-terminal device based on cantilever beam fabricated using an all-metal, surface-micromachining process. It operates in hermetic environment obtained through glass frit wafer-bonding lifetimes greater than 1010 cycles have achieved the wafer capped switch. Typical insertion loss isolation 2-contact at 10 GHz are 0.4 20 dB, respectively, while 8-contact yields of 0.2 dB 27 2 GHz, respectively. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
