5 CAPACITIVE ELECTROSTATIC FORCE Energy stored in a parallel plate capacitor W with area A and space between plates of d W = 0.5 QV = 0.5 CV 2 since Q = CV The energy stored in a capacitor can be equated to the force times distance between the plates W = Fd or F = W/d F = o r A V 2 2d 2 C = F o r A d d area A o permitivitty of free space = 8.85e-12 Farads/m r = relative permitivitty (for air r = 1) Page 5
6 ELECTROSTATIC PULL-IN VOLTAGE Example: Two parallel plates a distance d apart, one fixed, one movable with spring constant k. An applied voltage causes a force that works against the spring. At a high enough voltage (Vpull-in) the system becomes unstable and the plates come together. Vpull-in = 8 k d 3 27 o r Area If the spring is a cantilever and the plates have an area of A, the pull in voltage is found from the equation above where k is k = (3E(bh 3 /12)/ L 3 ) Page 6

10 APPLICATIONS MEMS switches, based on their technical performance specifications, have all the potential for replacing the existing semiconductor switches. The main reasons for this technological shift are properties of virtually no DC power dissipation, excellent linearity and isolation / loss characteristics, as well as relatively small manufacturing costs. On the application front, MEMS switches can be used in satellite communication networks as NxN switching matrices and phase shifters for multibeam satellite communication. They are also widely used in wireless communication systems with basic switching components, such as general SPNT and transmit/receive switches. MEMS are also active components in phase shifters for satellite-based radars, missile systems and long range radars are widely used in defense systems. Page 10

24 THERMAL ACTUATION SWITCH Page 24
25 THERMAL ACTUATION SWITCH Thermally actuated MEMS relay switch with a bistable operation was developed in It is fabricated with bulk micromachined technique and thermally actuated with high contact force, stable contact, high current carrying capability and low contact resistance can be achieved. As shown in figure above. When a thermal actuator #1 is bent downward, the mechanically crossbar double beam snaps toward its second stable position, thus the movable crossbar makes contact with two contact bumps simultaneously. The switch demonstrated 2-3 A of current carrying capability and 60 mohms of on resistance. In terms of power efficiency and switching speed, thermal actuation is generally inferior to electrostatic actuation. Page 25
26 ROCKWELL SCIENCE CENTER MEMS DC SWITCH DC to 4 GHz 50 db Isolation 0.1 db loss 50V Actuation Page 26
27 ROCKWELL SCIENCE CENTER MEMS DC SWITCH In 1995, the first DC-contact MEMS series switch in the history was presented by Rockwell Science Center, CA, USA [6]. The switch was fabricated on GaAs substrate with SiO2 micro beam cantilever type arm as a movable structure, anchored on two sides of the switch and platinum-gold contact to short the open circuit, thus allowing the free propagation of the signal from input to output port. The polyimide sacrificial layer was used to form the beam structure, ensuring low temperature fabrication process (typically < 250 ). Very good performance was achieved from DC to up to 4 GHz, having an electrical isolation of 50 db and an insertion loss of 0.1 db. The actuation voltage was within the range of Volts. Page 27
28 UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN ALL METAL DC SWITCH DC to 5 GHz 60 db Isolation 0.5 db loss 30V Actuation Page 28
29 UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN ALL METAL DC SWITCH Between 1999 and 2000, professor Muldavin, Tan and Rebeiz from University of Michigan came up with a design of all-metal DCcontact MEMS series switch. The fabrication of the switch was performed on high-resistivity silicon substrate with a fixed-fixed bridge design and pull-down electrode placed exactly on both sides of the switch relatively to the signal line. As a sacrificial layer for the suspended bridge structure researches used SiO2. The contact point or dimple was etched in the sacrificial layer and filled with noble metal (Au) afterwards, in order to achieve good switch resistance. The overall performance of the switch was the best available at the time with the isolation of 60 db at 5GHz and insertion loss 0.5 db. Recorded actuation voltage for different pull-down electrode geometries stayed within Volts. Page 29
30 OMRON DC CONTACT MEMS SWITCH DC to 2 GHz 44 db Isolation 0.5 db loss 15V Actuation Page 30
31 OMRON DC CONTACT MEMS SWITCH In 1999 the Omron Company implemented electrostatic DC-contact switch on SOI substrate using single-crystal silicon membrane [9]. In general, the design resembled DC-contact switch of Rockwell Scientific Center with a few exception such that much bigger size actuation pads were integrated directly on the glass substrate. On the purpose of reduced spring constant design the membrane was partially etched away near the anchor points of the switch. Measured isolation value at 2 GHz was 44 db, while the insertion loss was less than 0.5 db. Actuation voltage for this type of switch was in the range between Volts. At that time, it was one of the most advanced metal contact switches that were first commercially packaged in a frit glass cover. Page 31
32 SAMSUNG DC CONTACT SWITCH DC to 4 GHz 35 db Isolation 0.15 db loss 5V Actuation Page 32
33 SAMSUNG DC CONTACT SWITCH DC-contact MEMS series switches was held by Samsung Company in Group of researches headed by Dr.C.M.Song proposed novel design of low voltage MEMS switch with long folded springs [1]. In fact, the design was very similar to the University of Michigan switch and comprised of a gold membrane that was formed on top of aluminum sacrificial layer. The switch had small spring constant and low actuation voltage of 5V. Measured up-state capacitance (1.5pF) resulted in an isolation of 35 db at 4 GHz and insertion loss of 0.15 db from GHz.Fig.2.5 presents micrograph of Samsung DC-contact MEMS switch. Page 33
34 MOTOROLA FOLDED SPRING DC CONTACT SWITCH DC to 50 GHz 35 db Isolation 0.5 db loss?? Actuation Page 34
35 MOTOROLA FOLDED SPRING DC CONTACT SWITCH In the same year Motorola company has issued a patent B1 on Folded Spring Based Micro Electromechanical (MEM) RF switch [10]. According to the patent description, the switch was fabricated on GaAs substrate with microplatform structure suspended on a flexure spring with metal electrodes deposited on top of it for electrostatic actuation. The design was very similar to Samsung, except the shorting bar on a microplatform facing the gap in the signal line and stopping bumpers placed beneath each of four springs, which dramatically reduced the stiction problem between the microplatform and bottom electrodes in ON state. The whole process was performed at a low temperature (< 250 ), thus having polyimide as a sacrificial layer and PECVD SiN as a structure material for the membrane. The device was functional from DC up to 50 GHz with isolation of 35 db and insertion loss of 0.5 db at 20 GHz Page 35
36 UNIVERSITY OF TRENTO LOW ACTIVATION SWITCH DC to 10 GHz 50 db Isolation 0.3 db loss?? Actuation Page 36
37 UNIVERSITY OF TRENTO LOW ACTIVATION SWITCH The most recent work on low-actuation voltage MEMS switch was done in 2005 by Kamal Rangra from University of Trento, Italy [4]. The main emphasis was made on improved low-actuation voltage design and improved RF performance. The actuation voltage optimization was done by better flexure design and beam topology. Realization of the switch was performed on high-resistivity silicon substrate. Electroplated Au bridge was obtained on Cr seed layer thus reducing the residual stress of the film. RF performance enhancement was achieved by incorporating the floating metal design for contact parts of the switch. Measured isolation of the switch was in the range between 50 db to 30 db and the insertion loss of 0.3 db for frequencies from 1-10GHz. Page 37
