    • A method of fabricating micro-electromechanical switches (MEMS) using a process starting with a copper damascene interconnect layer, made of metal conductors inlaid in a dielectric (150). All, or portions, of the interconnects are recessed to a degree sufficient to provide a capacitive air gap when the switch is in the closed state, as well as provide space for a protective layer of, for example, Ta/TaN. The metal structures defined within the area specified for the switch act as actuator electrodes to pull down the movable beam (160) and provide one or more paths for the switched signal to traverse. The advantage of an air gap is that air is not subject to charge storage or trapping that can cause reliability and voltage drift problems. Instead of recessing the electrodes to provide a gap, one may just add dielectric on or around the electrode. The next layer is another dielectric layer which is deposited to the desired thickness of the gap formed between the moveable beam (160) that forms the switching device. Vias are fabricated through this dielectric to provide connections between the metal interconnect layer and the next metal layer which will also contain the switchable beam. The via layer is then patterned and etched to provide a cavity area which contains the lower activation electrodes as well as the signal paths. The cavity is then back-filled with a sacrificial release material.
    • 一种使用由铜镶嵌互连层开始的工艺来制造微机电开关(MEMS)的方法,由介于电介质(150)中的金属导体制成。 当开关处于闭合状态时,互连件的全部或部分凹陷到足以提供电容气隙的程度,以及为例如Ta / TaN的保护层提供空间。 在为开关指定的区域内限定的金属结构用作致动器电极以下拉可移动光束(160)并且提供用于切换信号穿过的一个或多个路径。 气隙的优点是空气不会受到可能导致可靠性和电压漂移问题的电荷储存或捕集。 代替使电极凹陷以提供间隙,可以仅在电极上或周围添加电介质。 下一层是沉积到形成开关装置的可移动梁(160)之间形成的间隙的所需厚度的另一介电层。 通过该电介质制造通孔以提供金属互连层和还包含可切换光束的下一个金属层之间的连接。 然后对通孔层进行图案化和蚀刻以提供包含下部激活电极以及信号路径的空腔区域。 然后用牺牲脱模材料填充空腔。
