Laterally Movable Triple Electrodes Actuator toward Low Voltage and Fast Response RF-MEMS Switches

A novel actuator toward a low voltage actuation and fast response in RF-MEMS (radio frequency micro-electro-mechanical systems) switches is reported in this paper. The switch is comprised of laterally movable triple electrodes, which are bistable by electrostatic forces applied for not only the on-s...
