Contact degradation in hot/cold operation of direct contact micro-switches
Degradation of gold contacts in micro-switches was studied under an extensive range of operation conditions including high-electric-field ac/dc hot switching, low-electric-field hot switching and cold switching. Tests were conducted in a unique experimental switching operation set-up. Gold micro-contacts were characterized by an atomic force microscope. It was found that a unique material trans...
متن کاملTemperature dependence of asperity contact and contact resistance in gold RF MEMS switches
Experimental measurements and modeling predictions were obtained to characterize the electro-mechanical response of two different gold contact radio frequency microelectromechanical system (RF MEMS) switches due to variations in the temperature and applied contact voltage. A three-dimensional surface roughness profile from AFM measurements of the top contact surface of a sample RF MEMS switch w...
متن کاملNanoelectromechanical contact switches.
Nanoelectromechanical (NEM) switches are similar to conventional semiconductor switches in that they can be used as relays, transistors, logic devices and sensors. However, the operating principles of NEM switches and semiconductor switches are fundamentally different. These differences give NEM switches an advantage over semiconductor switches in some applications--for example, NEM switches pe...
متن کاملSpring-loaded Compounds in Organic Synthesis
INTRODUCTION Ring strain is a property possessed by small molecules and is recognized by chemists as an exceptionally efficient and practical tool for attaining challenging transformations. Organic chemistry has witnessed tremendous progress towards this end with the development of a plethora of methods that can harvest the high energy of a strained system and direct it into productive pathways...
متن کاملValidation of bending test by nanoindentation for micro- contact analysis of MEMS switches
Research on contact characterization for microelectromechanical system (MEMS) switches has been driven by the necessity to reach a high-reliability level for micro-switch applications. One of the main failures observed during cycling of the devices is the increase of the electrical contact resistance. The key issue is the electromechanical behaviour of the materials used at the contact interfac...
