  • MEMS FIXED CAPACITOR COMPRISING A GAS-CONTAINING GAP AND PROCESS FOR MANUFACTURING SAID CAPACITOR
    Publication number: 20150243729
    Abstract: The MEMS fixed capacitor includes a bottom metal electrode formed onto a substrate, a top metal electrode supported by metal pillars above the bottom metal electrode, and a gas-containing gap forming a non-solid dielectric layer between said top and bottom metal electrodes; the distance between the top and bottom metal electrodes is not more than 1 ?m and the thickness of the top metal electrode is not less than 1 ?m.

  • RF mems crosspoint switch and crosspoint switch matrix comprising RF mems crosspoint switches
    Patent number: 9048523
    Abstract: The RF MEMS crosspoint switch comprising a first transmission line and a second transmission line that crosses the first transmission line; the first transmission line comprises two spaced-apart transmission line portions, and a switch element that permanently electrically connects the two spaced-apart transmission line portions; the second transmission line crosses the first transmission line between the two spaced-apart transmission line portions; the RF MEMS crosspoint switch further comprises actuation means for actuating the switch element at least between a first position, in which the switch element is electrically connecting the two spaced-apart transmission line portions of the first transmission line and the first and second transmission lines are electrically disconnected, and a second position, in which the switch element is electrically connecting the two spaced-apart transmission line portions of the first transmission line and is also electrically connecting the two transmission lines together.
