Abstract: Various arrangements for a microelectromechanical (MEMS) die and a controller die in vertically stacked structures are disclosed. The orientations of the MEMS die and the controller die vary in the various arrangements. In one embodiment, a backside surface of the MEMS die is operably connected to a frontside surface of the controller die. In another embodiment, a backside surface of the MEMS die is operably connected to a backside surface of the controller die. In another embodiment, a frontside surface of the MEMS die is operably connected to a backside surface of the controller die. In yet another embodiment, a frontside surface of the MEMS die is operably connected to a frontside surface of the controller die.

Abstract: An electrical arrangement for performing radio frequency isolation for microelectromechanical relay switches. A microelectromechanical relay switch comprises a beam configured to switch from a first position connected to an upper voltage source to a second position connected to a lower voltage source. The microelectromechanical relay switch further comprises at least one frequency isolation circuit or resistor disposed adjacent to the beam. The at least one frequency isolation circuit or resistor biases a direct current potential to allow for electrostatic actuation and further provides a path for transient electrical currents during switching.

Abstract: Unwanted or parasitic capacitances may occur in MEMS switches. To reduce or eliminate the impact of the unwanted or parasitic capacitance, an extra device, such as a second MEMS switch, may be coupled to a first MEMS switch to divert the unwanted or parasitic capacitance to ground.

Abstract: A package is provided. The package includes a first semiconductor device having a first functional layer. The first functional layer includes a first functional component. The package also includes a second semiconductor device over the first semiconductor device. The second semiconductor device includes a second functional layer having a second functional component. The second functional layer is over a base layer. The base layer is coupled to the second functional layer on a first surface, and is coupled to the first functional layer on a second surface. The first surface and the second surface are on opposite sides of the base layer.

Abstract: The disclosure is directed to microelectromechanical system (MEMS) switches with multiple pull-down electrodes between terminal electrodes to limit off-state capacitance. In exemplary aspects disclosed herein, a plurality of pull-down electrodes are positioned between the input terminal electrode and the output terminal electrode. The plurality of pull-down electrodes are offset from each other to limit off-state capacitance between the input terminal electrode and the output terminal electrode. The separation between the pull-down electrodes disrupts the off-state capacitive path between the input terminal electrode and the output terminal electrode, thereby further insulating the contacts from each other. Limiting off-state capacitance reduces on-state electrical loss and increases off-state electrical isolation for improved performance.

Abstract: A microelectromechanical system (MEMS) switch includes a movable beam suspended over a first set of conductive contacts and a second set of conductive contacts. Actuation of the MEMS switch occurs in two stages. During actuation of the MEMS switch, the movable beam is brought into contact with the first set of conductive contacts in a first stage of actuation. A first conduction path is created when the movable beam contacts the first set of conductive contacts. Continued actuation of the MEMS switch causes the movable beam to contact the second set of conductive contacts in a second stage of actuation. A second conduction path is created when the movable beam contacts the second set of conductive contacts.
