METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR MEMS CMOS-BASED RADIO FREQUENCY FILTERS HAVING ARRARYS OF ELEMENTS

摘要

The invention provides systems and methods for producing a chip comprising a radio-frequency filter which is based on MEMS and is arranged inside an integrated circuit. In one aspect, the systems and methods provide a chip which includes electronic elements formed on a substrate made of semiconductor material. The chip additionally includes an interconnection layer stack which includes layers of conductive material which are separated by layers of dielectric material. A radio-frequency filter is formed inside the interconnection layer stack by applying gaseous HF to the interconnection layers. The radio-frequency filter includes a plurality of resonator elements which are mechanically decoupled.
