    Abstract: The present subject matter relates to the use of current splitting and routing techniques to distribute current uniformly among the various layers of a device to achieve a high Q-factor. Such current splitting can allow the use of relatively narrow interconnects and feeds while maintaining a high Q. Specifically, for example a micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) device can comprise a metal layer comprising a first portion and a second portion that is electrically separated from the first portion. A first terminus can be independently connected to each of the first portion and the second portion of the metal layer, wherein the first portion defines a first path between the metal layer and the first terminus, and the second portion defines a second path between the metal layer and the first terminus.

    Abstract: The present subject matter relates to MEMS tunable capacitors and methods for operating such capacitors. The tunable capacitor can feature a primary stationary actuator electrode on a substrate, a secondary stationary actuator electrode on the substrate, a stationary RF signal capacitor plate electrode on the substrate, a sprung cantilever disposed over the substrate, a beam anchor connecting a first end of the sprung cantilever to the substrate, and one or more elastic springs or other biasing members connecting a second end of the sprung cantilever to the substrate, the second end being located distally from the first end. The spring cantilever can be movable between an OFF state defined by the potential difference between the stationary and moveable actuator electrodes being zero, and an ON state defined by a non-zero potential difference between the stationary and moveable actuator electrodes.

    Abstract: The present subject matter relates to devices, systems, and methods for isolation of electrostatic actuators in MEMS devices to reduce or minimize dielectric charging. A tunable component can include a fixed actuator electrode positioned on a substrate, a movable actuator electrode carried on a movable component that is suspended over the substrate, one or more isolation bumps positioned between the fixed actuator electrode and the movable actuator electrode, and a fixed isolation landing that is isolated within a portion of the fixed actuator electrode that is at, near, and/or substantially aligned with each of the one or more isolation bumps. In this arrangement, the movable actuator electrode can be selectively movable toward the fixed actuator electrode, but the one or more isolation bumps can prevent contact between the fixed and movable actuator electrodes, and the fixed isolation landing can inhibit the development of an electric field in the isolation bump.
