    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a variable capacitor for RF and microwave applications. The variable capacitor includes a bond pad that has a plurality of cells electrically coupled thereto. Each of the plurality of cells has a plurality of MEMS devices therein. The MEMS devices share a common RF electrode, one or more ground electrodes and one or more control electrodes. The RF electrode, ground electrodes and control electrodes are all arranged parallel to each other within the cells. The RF electrode is electrically connected to the one or more bond pads using a different level of electrical routing metal.

    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to the combination of MEMS intrinsic technology with specifically designed solid state ESD protection circuits in state of the art solid state technology for RF applications. Using ESD protection in MEMS devices has some level of complexity in the integration which can be seen by some as a disadvantage. However, the net benefits in the level of overall performance for insertion loss, isolation and linearity outweighs the disadvantages.

    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to a device having a variable frequency filter that rejects harmonics generated by a variable reactance device. The variable frequency filter may be coupled to the antenna and the variable reactance device. The filter includes a variable capacitor and an inductor coupled together as a resonant circuit. The filter may be used in cellular technology to prevent harmonic frequencies that are created by another variable reactance device from reaching the antenna of the cellular device. Furthermore, the filter can reflect any receiving frequencies from the antenna and prevent the receiving frequencies from passing through.

    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to MEMS devices and methods for their manufacture. The cantilever of the MEMS device may have a waffle-type microstructure. The waffle-type microstructure utilizes the support beams to impart stiffness to the microstructure while permitting the support beam to flex. The waffle-type microstructure permits design of rigid structures in combination with flexible supports. Additionally, compound springs may be used to create very stiff springs to improve hot-switch performance of MEMS devices. To permit the MEMS devices to utilize higher RF voltages, a pull up electrode may be positioned above the cantilever to help pull the cantilever away from the contact electrode.
