  • Patent number: 7300813
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the manufacture of a semiconductor switch for use in a variety of communication systems, and particularly to the manufacture of a RF micro-machined switch of pull-up type, wherein an electrostatic electrode is used so as to cause the contact pad involved in the operation of the switch to be pulled upward from below. The RF micro-machined switch of pull-up type according to the invention has a high isolation characteristic for shorting and opening the circuit and needs a low driving voltage, so that miniaturization of communication system is possible because a circuit for booting driving voltage is not required within the system. Further, the characteristic of switch is little changed after a long use because the metal composing the contact pad experiences little deformation during operation, whereby the semi-permanent use of switch is possible.
