A Combined Thermo-Electrostatic MEMS-Based Switch with Low Actuation Voltage
Requirement of voltage up-converters due to high pull-in voltage is one of the main problems by merely electrostatic actuated MEMS-based Switches. Thermally actuated switches are another alternatives but with very high power dissipation. In this paper a low voltage switch is demonstrated, which uses...
