DB01: RF MEMs and NEMS

Wednesday, August 20  08:00-09:20,  Room #21

Session Chair: Wei Hong

Recent developments in micro and nano manipulation of materials conventionally used in microsystem technology (including MEMS) and the recent introduction of fascinating nanostructured matter such as carbon nanotubes and graphene, are expected to trigger a completely new class of devices and systems. These developments are based on the impressive achievements in manufacturing processing and on the convergence of multidisciplinary theoretical and experimental observations. Owing to the fact that the most severe shortcomings toward commercialization of RF MEMS devices have been curbed or alleviated a variety of applications are now being successfully explored by cost effective solutions by means of dedicated MEMS platforms or monolithic CMOS integration. On the other hand research on RF MEMS moved and is now focusing on advance device capabilities for enhanced lifetime and key performances such as speed and power handling. From these efforts, RF MEMS device are likely to bear the development of a new class of applications.
