Abstract

The invention relates to the field of manufacturing an MEMS (micro-electromechanical system) device, and in particular relates to a preparation method of a millimeter wave RF-MEMS switch. The method mainly comprises the following steps: growing polycrystalline silicon and silicon dioxide on the surface of a high-resistant silicon wafer, washing the silicon wafer, manufacturing a CPW (carotid pulse wave) figure, manufacturing a silicon nitride insulating layer on an RF (radio frequency) transmission line, manufacturing a conductor layer on the silicon nitride insulating layer of the RF transmission line, manufacturing a sacrificial layer, manufacturing a film microbridge, releasing the sacrificial layer, annealing and testing performance. The millimeter wave RF-MEMS switch prepared by adopting the technical scheme provided by the invention is relatively high in rate of finished product and relatively long in the switch life, the insertion loss is low and the isolation degree is high in the millimeter wave frequency band, and the planarization method of the sacrificial layer in the manufacturing process is simple.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of MEMS device manufacture, in particular to a preparation method of a millimeter-wave RF MEMS switch. Background technique [0002] Electronic equipment is gradually developing in terms of functional diversification, miniaturization, light weight, and high frequency. Due to the advantages of miniaturization, intelligence, multi-function and high integration, RF MEMS devices have been more and more widely used. [0003] RF MEMS switch is one of the most basic components in MEMS radio frequency devices, and it is also the core device of radio frequency circuits. It can be used alone or combined with other microwave circuits or devices to form other composite devices, such as phase shifters, Reconfigurable antennas, filters, etc. RF MEMS switches have excellent performance in terms of insertion loss, isolation, frequency, and linearity, so they are widely used in systems such as satellite communications, navigation, a...
