Research on the Dynamic Response of Capacitive RF-MEMS Switch

Article Preview

Abstract:

Dynamic response time is an important performance parameter for capacitive RF-MEMS switch. This paper establishes a differential equation, in order to analyse the influencing factors of dynamic response time. The simulation results show that pulling-down time can reach 7.5μs when beam length equals to 200μm, beam width equals to 30μm, beam thickness equals to 1μm, beam material adopts Al and dielectric layer selects Si3N4.
