CEA-Leti Announces Major Improvement in 200mm RF MEMS Switch Manufacturing Process

July 13, 2011

SAN FRANCISCO, California – July 12, 2011 – CEA-Leti announced today that its RF MEMS switch technology has reached a new level of maturity, allowing it to provide customers with a significantly improved manufacturing process.

A major advance has been achieved in the reliability of the devices’ electrostatic actuators. CEA-Leti’s new switch design uses a dielectric-less solution in which an air gap prevents contact between the electrodes when the bridge is down, thanks to small dielectric dots placed under the mobile electrode. As a result, long-term tests show a … Read More → "CEA-Leti Announces Major Improvement in 200mm RF MEMS Switch Manufacturing Process"
