RF MEMS switches are small, micromechanical switches that have low power consumption and can be produced using conventional MEMS fabrication technology. They are similar to a light switch in a room, where a contact is opened or closed to conduct a signal across the switch. In the case of RF MEMS devices, the mechanical components of the switch are only microns in size. Unlike a light switch, the signal being conducted in an RF MEMS switch is in the radio frequency range.

A vacuum field emission transistor (VFET), also known as nanoscale vacuum channel transistor, is a device with no semiconductor channel. Instead, it has an empty gap between the source and drain terminals. Electrons tunnel through this empty space.

Back to the Future with Nanotechnology!

Nano Open Webinar will be held on Zoom 11:00 on January 18, 2023.
