Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to conductive structures that may be utilized in a radio-frequency (RF) switch. The embodiments of the conductive structures of the present disclosure are formed to balance the 'on' resistance (R) and the “off” capacitance (C) such that the R·Cvalue is optimized such that the conductive structures are relatively efficient as compared to conventional conductive structures within conventional RF switches. For example, the conductive structures include various metallization layers that are stacked on each other and spaced apart in a selected manner to balance the Rand the Cas to optimize the R·Cfigure of merit as a lower R·Cis preferred.
