    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a capacitive switch, an apparatus for transceiving a signal, and a method for manufacturing the capacitive switch. The capacitive switch includes: a first conductive cantilever, a second conductive cantilever, a substrate, and a coplanar waveguide arranged on the substrate, where the coplanar waveguide includes a first conductor configured to transmit an electrical signal and a second conductor and a third conductor that are arranged as ground wires on two sides of the first conductor; an insulation medium layer is arranged on the first conductor, and a conducting layer is arranged on the insulation medium layer; the first conductive cantilever is connected to the second conductor by using a first fixed end, and the second conductive cantilever is connected to the third conductor by using a second fixed end; and when a direct-current signal is transmitted on the capacitive switch, a first free end of the first conductive cantilever and a second free end of the second conductive cantilever contact the conducting layer. In the capacitive switch provided in this embodiment, a stress generated by a metal film bridge of the capacitive switch is released by using a cantilever separate structure, thereby ensuring transmission quality of a signal.

    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a MEMS device in which silicon residues from the adhesion promoter material are reduced or even eliminated from the cavity floor. The adhesion promoter is typically used to adhere sacrificial material to material above the substrate. The adhesion promoter is the removed along with then sacrificial material. However, the adhesion promoter leaves silicon based residues within the cavity upon removal. The inventors have discovered that the adhesion promoter can be removed from the cavity area prior to depositing the sacrificial material. The adhesion promoter which remains over the remainder of the substrate is sufficient to adhere the sacrificial material to the substrate without fear of the sacrificial material delaminating. Because no adhesion promoter is used in the cavity area of the device, no silicon residues will be present within the cavity after the switching element of the MEMS device is freed.

    Abstract translation: 本发明一般涉及一种MEMS器件,其中来自粘合促进剂材料的硅残余物从空腔底板减少甚至消除。 粘合促进剂通常用于将牺牲材料粘附到衬底上方的材料。 粘附促进剂与牺牲材料一起被去除。 然而,粘合促进剂在除去后离开硅基残留物。 本发明人已经发现,在沉积牺牲材料之前,可以从空腔区域去除粘合促进剂。 保留在基材的其余部分上的粘合促进剂足以将牺牲材料粘附到基材上,而不用担心牺牲材料分层。 因为在器件的空腔区域中没有使用粘合促进剂,所以在MEMS器件的开关元件被释放之后,腔内将不存在硅残余物。

    Abstract: The present invention provides a bi-directional microelectromechanical element, a microelectromechanical switch including the bi-directional element, and a method to reduce mechanical creep in the bi-directional element. In one embodiment, the bi-directional microelectromechanical element includes a cold beam having a free end and a first end connected to a cold beam anchor. The cold beam anchor is attached to a substrate. A first beam pair is coupled to the cold beam by a free end tether and is configured to elongate when heated thereby to a greater temperature than a temperature of the cold beam. A second beam pair is located on an opposing side of the cold beam from the first beam pair and is coupled to the first beam pair and the cold beam by the free end tether. The second beam pair is configured to elongate when heated thereby to the greater temperature.
