Title
Failure analysis and detection methodology for capacitive RF-MEMS switches based on BEOL BiCMOS process.
Abstract
•Failure investigation methodology dedicated to RF-MEMS switches on 250nm BEOL CMOS.•The focus is devoted to the effects technology dispersions on stress induced deformations.•The failure analysis by coupling a optical profilometer to accurate electrical model.•Real time monitoring of the device functional behavior and early failure detection.•The study based on failure criteria coming from industrial space applications.
