  • Abstract
    In this paper the principle, design and fabrication process of low-voltage, high speed RF switch is presented. The aluminium as the electrodes and the PECVD silicon carbide were selected as electrodes and shield materials, respectively. The operating voltage as low as 0.8 volt and high switching capacitance ratio of 180 is reported
