The capacitive RF-MEMS switch is monolithically incorporated into the backend-of-line (BEOL) of IHP's SiGe-BiCMOS technology ...

There has been an ongoing conundrum in the RF switch application space. Historically, there have been only two types of RF switches available: electromechanical relay (EMR) and solid state (SS) ...

It’s been obvious for decades that the microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) switch could potentially replace PIN diode, mechanical, FET, and other types of switches in a broad swath of RF and ...

In recent years, much progress has been made in the development of all-optical switching. In particular, switching fabrics based on mirrors built using microelectronic mechanical system (MEMS) ...

One of the technical challenges the current data revolution faces is finding an efficient way to route the data. This task is usually performed by electronic switches, while the data itself is ...

Semiconductor Engineering sat down to talk about future developments and challenges for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) with Gerold Schropfer, director of MEMS products and European operations ...

This week, GE Global Research announced it had developed a brand new switch technology that can be used for enhancing the radios used in 4G phones to provide much faster speeds. Called a “MEMS switch, ...
