Abstract

Switching products technologies ranges from traditional Electro Mechanical Relays (EMR) and reed relays to semiconductor switches made of silicon or GaAs materials. A new type of device is currently getting to commercialization. The first sales of RF MEMS switches outside DOD programs have been realized by Teravicta in 2006. The achievements of RadantMEMS in USA DOD programs, the first commercial product sales from Teravicta in 2006 and the 4 other competitors (MEW, XCOMwireless, MEMtronics, Advantest) product introduction in the same year, is a clear sign that RF MEMS switches are gaining momentum.

Market potential is therefore large because MEMS based switches are expected to both:
  • substitute existing products
  • enable new applications, particularly for mobile phones within short term
The RF MEMS switch market mainly follows three drivers:
  • Weight and size benefit for space and ATE (Automated Test Equipment) applications
  • Increased RF switching performance at constant size and cost, for cell phone and radars
    • applications
  • Ability to create switching matrix being low cost and good RF performances in wired and
    • wireless telecom applications
