A switch comprises voltage applying means for providing direct current potentials to first to third beams arranged with a spacing slightly distant one from another, and electrodes for inputting/outputting signals to/from the beams. By controlling the direct current potential provided to the beam, an electrostatic force is caused to thereby change the beam positions and change a capacitance between the beams. By causing an electrostatic force between the first and second beams and moving the both beams, the first and second beams can be electrically coupled together at high speed. Also, an electrostatic force is caused on the third beam arranged facing to the first and second beams, to previously place it close to the first and second beams. When the electrostatic force is released from between the first and second beams, the second beam moves toward the third beam thereby releasing the first and second beams of an electric coupling.

The movable portion moves between the first and second substrates due to electrostatic attraction that develops between the movable electrode and the stationary electrode.
9 Relay US10028254 2001-12-20 US06853273B2 2005-02-08 James A. Freeman
Disclosed herein is a relay having a first circuit, a second circuit, a ground, an electro-magnetic actuator assembly, and an armature assembly. The armature assembly is movable between first and second positions with respect to the first and second circuits, and is controlled by the electro-magnetic actuator assembly. Movement of the armature assembly to its first position allows current to flow through the first circuit. Movement of the armature assembly to its second position couples the first circuit to the ground and allows current to flow through the second circuit. The ground may be embodied in an extension of the armature assembly that contacts the first circuit when the armature assembly moves to its second position, or the ground may be embodied in a biased conductor that is moved into contact with the first circuit when the armature assembly moves to its second position.

A micro relay is provided including a movable contact, a stationary contact, and a ground contact opposed to the movable contact. In an operating state, the movable contact touches the ground contact when the movable contact separates from the stationary contact. In a non-operating state, the movable contact remains separated from the ground contact so that the movable contact does not stick to the ground contact. Since no parasitic capacitance is formed between the stationary contact and the movable contact, the isolation property of the micro relay is improved.

An RF switch formed as a micro electro-mechanical switch (MEMS) which can be configured in an array forming a micro electro-mechanical switch array (MEMSA). The MEMS is formed on a substrate. A pin, pivotally carried by the substrate defines a pivot point. A rigid beam or transmission line is generally centrally disposed on the pin forming a teeter-totter configuration. The use of a rigid beam and the configuration eliminates the torsional and bending forces of the beam which can reduce reliability. The switch is adapted to be monolithically integrated with other monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMIC) for example from HBTs and HEMTs, by separating such MMICs from the switch by way of a suitable polymer layer, such as polyimide, enabling the switch to be monolithically integrated with other circuitry. In order to reduce insertion losses, the beam is formed from all metal, which improves the sensitivity of the switch and also allows the switch to be used in RF switching applications. By forming the beam from all metal, the switch will have lower insertion loss than other switches which use SiO2 or mix metal contacts.

MEMS switches and methods of fabricating MEMS switches. The switch has a vertically oriented deflection electrode having a conductive layer supported by a supporting layer, at least one drive electrode, and a stationary electrode. An actuation voltage applied to the drive electrode causes the deflection electrode to deflect laterally and contact the stationary electrode, which closes the switch. The deflection electrode is restored to a vertical position when the actuation voltage is removed, thereby opening the switch. The method of fabricating the MEMS switch includes depositing a conductive layer on mandrels to define vertical electrodes and then releasing the deflection electrode by removing the mandrel and layer end sections.
