Abstract

다양한 구조위 트랜스미션 라인과 힌지들을 갖는 고주파용 마이크로머신드 용량성 스위치들이 새롭게 디자인되었고 전기도금 기술, 저온 공정기술, 그리고 건식 식각기술들을 이용하여 제작되었다. 특히, 집적화된 용량성 스위치들이 높은 스위칭 on/off ratio와 on 캐패시턴스를 갖도록 하기 위하여 고유전율을 갖는 SrTiO3라는 상유전체를 절연체로 사용하였다. 제작된 스위치들은 8V의 구동전압, 0.08dB의 삽입손실, 42dB의 높은 isolation, 600의 on/off ratio, 그리고 50pF의 on 캐패시턴스의 특성들을 갖는다.
