Abstract: A radio-frequency switch able to establish or break transmission of a radio-frequency signal, the switch including a first conductive finger, a second conductive finger, transmission of the radio-frequency signal taking place between the first conductive finger and the second conductive finger, at least one conductive electrode and a layer made of a PCM material having a lower surface and an upper surface. The first and second conductive fingers are spaced apart by a non-zero distance and in contact with the lower surface of the PCM layer. The conductive electrode is in contact with the upper surface of the PCM layer.

Abstract: A capacitive device including a metallic layer; a network of nanotube or nanowire bundles that extend from a face of the metallic layer; a capacitive stack covering the metallic layer and the nanotube bundles in a conforming manner, the stack including an upper conducting layer and an insulating layer, the device including a capacitive zone and a lower contact zone, the capacitive zone being a zone wherein the upper conducting layer encapsulates the nanotube bundles and the insulating layer, while the lower contact zone is a zone wherein the capacitive stack leaves the free ends exposed, and the insulating layer encapsulates the upper conducting layer.
