Abstract
The invention is a tunable RF MEMS switch developed with a BST dielectric at the contact interface. BST has a very high dielectric constant (>300) making it very appealing for RF MEMS capacitive switches. The tunable dielectric constant of BST provides a possibility of making linearly tunable MEMS capacitive switches. The capacitive tunable RF MEMS switch with a BST dielectric is disclosed showing its characterization and properties up to 40 GHz.
