    摘要: A capacitive type MEMS switch having a conductor arrangement comprised of first and second RF conductors deposited on a substrate. A bridge member having a central enlarged portion is positioned over the conductor arrangement. In one embodiment, the first RF conductor has an end defining an open area in which is positioned a pull down electrode, with the end of the first RF conductor substantially surrounding the pull down electrode. In another embodiment, two opposed RF conductors, each having ends with first and second branches, define an open area in which a pull down electrode is positioned. A dielectric layer is deposited on the conductor arrangement such that when a pull down voltage is applied to the pull down electrode, the switch impedance is significantly reduced so as to allow signal propagation between the RF conductors.

    摘要: A semiconductor device is provided that simplifies wiring pattern and is capable of being etched through an etching hole as a concavity is produced over a short time period. A dielectric film 12 is formed so as to shield the concavity formed upon the upper surface of a silicon substrate 10. A circuit pattern that has a thermoelectric conversion element 18 is formed upon the dielectric film. The upper surface of the silicon wafer becomes a (100) surface, and a first etching hole 16 extending in the direction of the silicon substrate and a second etching hole 17 extending in the direction are formed. These holes intersect in a cross shape. Shapes of the first and second etching holes become parallelograms which have oblique sides tilted with respect to and . Imaginary rectangles passing though the vertices of the first and second etching holes are continuous. As a cross shape is removed from the silicon substrate, etching is rapid due to the appearance of (411) surfaces at the intersecting part.
