Patent ID: 7830227

Claim:
A device having integrated micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) switches and filters, the device comprising: a host substrate having a plurality of first protrusions each having a first metal anchor, a plurality of second protrusions each having a second metal anchor, and a plurality of third protrusions, each having a third metal anchor; one or more MEMS switches on the host substrate, each MEMS switch comprising: a first metal offset connected to a respective one of the first metal anchors; a first quartz substrate, each first quartz substrate having a first conductive via and cantilevered on the first metal offset; a first metal actuator electrode on the first quartz substrate and electrically connected to the first conductive via; a metal switch contact on the first quartz substrate; a second metal actuator electrode on the host substrate; and a first metal signal line on the host substrate; a second metal signal line on the host substrate, the metal switch contact aligned over the first metal signal line and the second metal signal line; and one or more filters on the host substrate, each filter comprising: a second quartz substrate; a first resonator on the quartz substrate; a second resonator on the quartz substrate, the second resonator separated from the first resonator by a gap; the first resonator connected to a respective one of the second metal anchors; and the second resonator connected to a respective one of the third metal anchors; wherein at least a respective one of the second metal anchors is connected to at least a respective one of the second metal signal lines to form an integrated MEMS switch and filter.
