The Analysis and Simulation of RF Micro Cantilever Switch with Low Actuation Voltage Using COMSOL Multiphysics Software
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
The emerging phenomenon in wireless communication devices have shaped the requirement of micro devices having the inimitable capability of operating in the radio frequency (RF) range. RF MEMS switches have brought about a revolution in the already volatile area of nanotechnology due to the exceptional and extensive switching capability. The RF MEMS micro cantilever switches have been the basic building block of various enhanced MEMS devices. The various advantages of the RF MEMS switches also carry an area of concern due to the high actuation voltage required for operation. Lowering of this high actuation voltage by changing the mechanical and electrical characteristics of the switch is the theme for the simulation and analysis which in time has the potential to yield ubiquitous application of such devices in the field of Nano technology.
