摘要
This contribution presents an optimization strategy for the mechanical and geometrical characteristics of clamped-clamped RF-MEMS switches in order to enhance their reliability performances both in terms of switch properties control and long-term stress actuation tests. Experimental measurements demonstrated that the optimized version of the capacitive switch investigated shows an improved resistance to high bias voltage, while the optimized ohmic switch shows a lower and more reproducible contact resistance.
