    Abstract : Radio-frequency microelectromechanical systems (RF~MEMS) are highly miniaturized devices intended to switch, modulate, filter or tune electrical signals from DC to microwave frequencies. The micromachining techniques used to fabricate these components are based on the standard clean-room manufacturing processes for high-volume integrated semiconductor circuits. READ MORE

  5. 3. Microstructure technology in silicon, quartz, and diamond

    Author : Pelle Rangsten; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Materials science; Materialvetenskap; Materials science; Teknisk materialvetenskap; Elektronik; Electronics;

    Abstract : Microstructure technology can be defined as a set of fabrication processes enabling three-dimensional structures featuring dimensions in the micrometer to millimetre range, with micrometer accuracy. Microstructures can be assembled or manufactured integrated with other structures and/or microelectronics forming complex microsystems. READ MORE

  6. 4. Novel RF MEMS Devices for W-Band Beam-Steering Front-Ends

    Author : Nutapong Somjit; Joachim Oberhammer; Pierre Blondy; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : This thesis presents novel millimeter-wave microelectromechanical-systems (MEMS) components for W-band reconfigurable beam-steering front-ends. The proposed MEMS components are novel monocrystalline-silicon dielectric-block phase shifters, and substrate-integrated three-dimensional (3D) micromachined helical antennas designed for the nominal frequency of 75 GHz.
