A Dual-Polarity Graphene NEMS Switch ESD Protection Structure

On-Chip Structure for Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Protection [DIV]

Electrical Transduction of Graphene NEMS Resonator

Graphene, an atomically thin sheet consisting of only one layer of carbon atoms, attracts intensive research interest since its recent discovery [1], not only due to the simple fabrication process and its unique electronic properties, but also because of the ultimate mechanical strength as well [2], especially for nanoelectromechanical system (NEMS) applications. Here we report the preparation ...

RF-M/NEMS Switch Integrated Planar Inverted F-Antenna (PIFA)

We propose a novel multifunctional reconfigurable antenna (MRA) design using micro/nanoelectromechanical system (M/NEMS) switches. This single MRA operates over five frequency bands of GSM900, GPS1575, GSM1800, PCS1900 and UMTS2100. The reconfigurability in operating frequency is achieved by the activation of M/NEMS switches which are integrated with the antenna architecture. Summary of Researc...
