2 MEMS for Wireless Communication Why microfabrication? Process integration Mass fabrication Beyond cell phones: combine sensing, actuation, computation, and communication intelligent sensor/actuator network ( smart dust ) Why mechanical components? High-frequency oscillators (GHz range and more) Stability w.r.t. temperature, aging Low loss oscillators (high quality factor) Tunable oscillators (voltage controlled) Components for Wireless MEMS Antennas Amplifiers Switches Resistively coupled Capacitively coupled Resonators Filters Oscillators It is difficult to build integrated high quality electronic resonators for high-frequency applications (»MHz) Use discrete components, or Use corresponding micromechanical devices instead

7 Wireless Communication Components [Nguyen et al., 998] Oscillators for Wireless Communication Current Technology: Quartz crystal Surface acoustic wave (SAW) Discrete elements (variable capacitors and inductors) Advantages: High quality factor: >, Extremely high stability against thermal variations and aging Extremely selective filtering (small channel bandwidth) Problem: requires incompatible materials (e.g., GaAs) assembly necessary
8 Oscillators for Wireless Communication Goals: High Q oscillators Integrated VCO s (voltage controlled oscillators) Compatibility with micromachining processes Low cost Challenges: Q is proportional to L (inductivity) or m (mass) Tunable devices MEMS devices with sufficiently high C and L Noise from temperature changes, vibrations, aging Inductor losses: eddy currents in substrate Oscillator Stability [Nguyen et al., 998]
9 Voltage-Tunable Capacitors 2µm [Young and Boser 996] Voltage-Tunable Capacitors 4 tunable parallel capacitors 2.4pF 2.35pF 3V tuning voltage, Q62 at GHz [Young and Boser 996]
10 Micromachined Inductors NiFe core under planar metal spiral 2.7 µh inductance Q6.6 at 4MHz Spiral inductor on substrateisolating platform/membrane.2 nh inductance Q6-8 at 4GHz [Najafi et al., 997] Micromachined Inductors Electroplated 3D coil inductors with 4nH, Q3 at GHz [Young and Boser 997]
11 Thin-Film Bulk Acoustic Resonators Thin-film bulk-acoustic mode piezoelectric resonator (FBAR) Q > f GHz Thin-film resonator on substrate Acoustic isolation by strategic selection of separating layers [Lakin, Kline and McCarron 995] Comb-Drive Resonator V p V d I DC bias drive signal at ω d output current V p dc/dt feedback via transimpedance amplifier V c carrier signal at ω c output signal: [Figure: Maluf 2] frequency spectrum includes ω d, ω c, but also ω c ±ω d basis for frequency transfer (heterodyning)
12 Bandpass Filters Intuition: Two resonance modes Loosely coupled resonators: resonance modes are close and effectively form bandpass Additional coupled resonators widen frequency bandpass [Figure: Maluf, 2] Resonators and Filters [Nguyen et al., 998]
13 MEMS Medium Frequency Filters [Nguyen et al., 998] Cantilever Beam Switches [de los Santos 999] Issues: Maxium current when ON, max. voltage when OFF Impedance for DC to GHz frequency range Speed, stiction, lifespan, contact deterioration
14 Mercury Switches Side-driven mercury switch [Saffer et al. 996] Curved electrodes achieve small gap size (large el.stat. force) over larger actuation range Bumpers prevent electrode contact / short Mercury drop (selectively deposited only on Au patches) Originally fabricated in MUMPs [S. Saffer et al., 996] Capacitive Switches Metal membrane Electrostatic actuation Avoid stiction with dielectric layer Capacitive, not resistive coupling No DC component, which is ok for microwave frequencies [Goldsmith et al., 996]
15 Antennas [Gauthier, Courtay and Rebeiz 997]
