Abstract
Various methods and devices that involve phase change material (PCM) switches are disclosed. An exemplary integrated circuit comprises an active layer with a plurality of field effect transistor (FET) channels for a plurality of FETs. The integrated circuit also comprises an interconnect layer comprising a plurality of conductive interconnects. The plurality of conductive interconnects couple the plurality of field effect transistors. The integrated circuit also comprises an insulator layer covering at least a portion of the interconnect layer. The integrated circuit also comprises a channel of a radio-frequency (RF) PCM switch. The channel of the RF PCM switch is formed on the insulator layer.
