Design and Development of a Package Using LCP for RF/Microwave MEMS Switches. Chen, M., J., Pham, A., -., H., Evers, N., A., Kapusta, C., Iannotti, J., Kornrumpf, W., Maciel, J., & Karabudak, N. IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques, 54(11):4009-4015, 11, 2006.

We present the development of an ultrahigh moisture-resistant enclosure for RF microelectromechanical system (MEMS) switches using liquid-crystal polymer (LCP). A cavity formed in LCP has been laminated, at low temperature, onto a silicon MEMS switch to create a package. The LCP-cap package has an insertion loss of less than 0.2 dB at X-band. E595 outgas tests demonstrate that the LCP material is suitable for constructing reliable packages without interfering with the operation of the MEMS switch. The package also passes Method 1014, MIL-STD-883 gross leak, and fine leak hermeticity tests
