    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to an architecture for isolating an RF MEMS device from a substrate and driving circuit, series and shunt DVC die architectures, and smaller MEMS arrays for high frequency communications. The semiconductor device has one or more cells with a plurality of MEMS devices therein. The MEMS device operates by applying an electrical bias to either a pull-up electrode or a pull-down electrode to move a switching element of the MEMS device between a first position spaced a first distance from an RF electrode and a second position spaced a second distance different than the first distance from the RF electrode. The pull-up and/or pull-off electrode may be coupled to a resistor to isolate the MEMS device from the substrate.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to a MEMS device that is anchored using the layer that is deposited to form the cavity sealing layer and/or with the layer that is deposited to form the pull-off electrode. The switching element of the MEMS device will have a flexible or movable portion and will also have a fixed or anchor portion that is electrically coupled to ground. The layer that is used to seal the cavity in which the switching element is disposed can also be coupled to the fixed or anchor portion of the switching element to anchor the fixed or anchor portion within the cavity. Additionally, the layer that is used to form one of the electrodes may be used to provide additional leverage for anchoring the fixed or anchor portion within the cavity. In either situation, the movement of the flexible or movable portion is not hindered.

    Abstract: A MEMS device comprises first and second opposing electrodes (42,46), wherein the second electrode (46) is electrically movable to vary the electrode spacing between facing first sides of the first and second electrodes. A first gas chamber (50) is provided between the electrodes, at a first pressure, and a second gas chamber (52) is provided on the second, opposite, side of the second electrode at a second pressure which is higher than the first pressure. This arrangement provides rapid switching and with damping of oscillations so that settling times are reduced.
