The promises and shortcomings of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) switch technology have become almost legendary. Perhaps no other electronic component in history has been the source of so much hype—and the cause of so much disillusionment. So much so, that Internet sites advise engineers to steer clear of MEMS switch...
Thinking that they were facing a “normal” set of technical challenges, MEMS switch developers consistently underestimated the difference between being able to sample a few prototype devices from a wafer and consistently manufacturing products that deliver high levels of quality and reliability. This created market expectations that are only...
