Abstract:
A system and method for a micro-electrical-mechanical system (MEMS) device including a substrate and a free-standing and suspended electroplated metal MEMS structure formed on the substrate. The free-standing and suspended electroplated metal MEMS structure includes a metal mechanical element mechanically coupled to the substrate and a seed layer mechanically coupled to and in electrical communication with the mechanical element, the seed layer comprising at least one of a refractory metal and a refractory metal alloy, wherein a thickness of the mechanical element is substantially greater than a thickness of the seed layer such that the mechanical and electrical properties of the free-standing and suspended electroplated metal MEMS structure are defined by the material properties of the mechanical element.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an electronic device comprising at least one electronic component mounted on a support and surrounded by a deformable envelope containing a thermally conductive and electrically insulating liquid, said device comprising a heat dissipation plate which is substantially parallel to the support and at a distance therefrom, and means for heat transfer by conduction between the envelope and the plate, the thermally conductive and electrically insulating liquid being selected and the envelope being arranged such that a thermal expansion of the oil generates a force pressing the envelope against the means for heat exchange by conduction.
Abstract:
The present subject matter relates to systems and methods for arranging and controlling programmable combinations of tuning elements in which more than one form of switching technology is combined in a single array. Specifically, such an array can include one or more first switchable elements including a first switching technology (e.g., one or more solid-state-controlled devices) and one or more second switchable elements including a second switching technology that is different than the first switching technology (e.g., one or more micro-electro-mechanical capacitors). The one or more first switchable elements and the one or more second switchable elements can be configured, however, to deliver a combined variable reactance.
