Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2005083734A1] The invention relates to a high-frequency MEMS switch (10) comprising a signal conductor (12), which is located on a substrate (11), in addition to an elongated switching element (13) that has a curved, elastic flexible region (131, 132) and is fixed in a self-supporting manner to the substrate (11). An electrode assembly (14a, 14b) generates an electrostatic force that acts on the switching element (13) in order to move the switching element towards the signal conductor (12). The switching element (13) is aligned longitudinally in parallel with the signal conductor (12) and comprises a contact region (15), which extends transversally to the switching element (13) over the signal conductor (12). The elastic flexible region (131, 132) of the switching element (13) moves progressively towards the electrode assembly (14a, 14b) with the action of the electrostatic force in a direction that runs parallel to the signal conductor (12). The switching element (13) comprises e.g. two parallel switching arms (13a, 13b), which are interconnected by a bridge that forms a contact region (15) and which are located on either side of the signal conductor (12), running parallel to the latter.
