    Abstract: A method of fabricating micro-electromechanical switches (MEMS) using a process starting with a copper damascene interconnect layer, made of metal conductors inlaid in a dielectric (150). All, or portions, of the interconnects are recessed to a degree sufficient to provide a capacitive air gap when the switch is in the closed state, as well as provide space for a protective layer of, for example, Ta/TaN. The metal structures defined within the area specified for the switch act as actuator electrodes to pull down the movable beam (160) and provide one or more paths for the switched signal to traverse. The advantage of an air gap is that air is not subject to charge storage or trapping that can cause reliability and voltage drift problems. Instead of recessing the electrodes to provide a gap, one may just add dielectric on or around the electrode. The next layer is another dielectric layer which is deposited to the desired thickness of the gap formed between the moveable beam (160) that forms the switching device. Vias are fabricated through this dielectric to provide connections between the metal interconnect layer and the next metal layer which will also contain the switchable beam. The via layer is then patterned and etched to provide a cavity area which contains the lower activation electrodes as well as the signal paths. The cavity is then back-filled with a sacrificial release material.

    Abstract: A phased-array antenna system and other types of radio frequency (RF) devices and systems using microelectromechanical switches ("MEMS") and low-temperature co-fired ceramic ("LTCC") technology and a method of fabricating such phased-array antenna system and other types of radio frequency (RF) devices are disclosed. Each antenna or other type of device includes at least two multilayer ceramic modules (212, 214) and a MEMS device (211) fabricated on one of the modules (212). Once fabrication of the MEMS device (211) is completed, the two ceramic modules (212, 214) are bonded together, hermetically sealing the MEMS device, as well as allowing electrical connections between all device layers. The bottom ceramic module (212) has also cavities (241) at the backside for mounting integrated circuits (220). The internal layers (236) are formed using conducting, resistive and high-k dielectric pastes available in standard LTCC fabrication and low-loss dielectric LTCC tape materials.

    Abstract: A bistable structure provided by the invention is characterized as including a deflection element that has mechanically constrained end points and a compliant span between the end points that is substantially free to deflect between two stable positions when a force is applied at a point along the span. The deflection element span is provided, as-fabricated, curved in one of the two stable positions and in a mechanically unstressed condition along the length of the span. The as-fabricated curve of the deflection element span includes a curve maxima at a point along the span length that is at least about 1/4 of the span length from the end points of the span. The deflection element span is constrained to substantially prohibit development of a second bending mode that is characteristic for the span as the element deflects between the stable positions.
