Abstract :
A fully printed micro-electro-mechanical (MEM) Reed Relay is demonstrated to provide zero off-state leakage (IOFF), low on-state resistance (RON) (~15 Ω), and moderate switching delay (~32 μs), while offering excellent immunity to mechanical stress variations in the printed cantilevers. Leveraging the stress gradient in sintered metal nanoparticles films and using a novel device architecture, this device is promising for large area electronics.
