摘要：

In this paper, the effect of silicon (Si) cap packaging on the BiCMOS embedded RF-MEMS switch performance is studied. The RF-MEMS switches are designed and fabricated in a 0.25 mu m SiGe BiCMOS technology for K-band (18-27 GHz) applications. The packaging is done based on a wafer-to-wafer bonding technique and the RF-MEMS switches are electrically characterized before and after the Si cap packaging. The experimental data shows the effect of the wafer-level Si cap package on the C-V and S-parameter measurements. The performed 3D FEM simulations prove that the low resistive Si cap, specifically 1 Omega.cm, results in a significant RF performance degradation of the RF-MEMS switch in terms of insertion loss.
