Abstract
Using MEMS fabrication technology, we have demonstrated very high frequency and high quality factor (Q) varactors, inductors and transformers on a Si substrate. On high resistivity Si, this technology results in broadband analog varactors with continuous tuning range as high as 3:1 and 1 nH inductors with Q>60 at frequencies of 3 to 7 GHz. High efficiency high-Q transformers with coupling factors 0.6
