Pneumatic MEMS switch and method of fabricating the same

摘要

A pneumatic micro electro mechanical system switch includes a substrate, a pneumatic actuating unit disposed on the substrate; the pneumatic actuating unit having a plurality of variable air cavities communicating such that when one of the plurality of variable air cavities is compressed, the rest are expanded; a signal line having a plurality of switching lines, each of which passes through a corresponding one of the plurality of variable air cavities and has switching ends disposed in a spaced-apart relation with each other in the corresponding one of the plurality of variable air cavities; a movable switching unit to connect the first and the second switching ends of each of the plurality of switching lines if one of the plurality of variable air cavities is compressed; and a driving unit to drive the pneumatic actuating unit so as to selectively compress the plurality of variable air cavities.
