  • Abstract
    We have designed, fabricated, and tested in-plane actuating ferromagnetic MEMS switches and solenoidal inductors, which were produced using a CMOS-compatible back-end process. This process creates compact high-performance devices without high temperature processes (<; 400°C) or etching into the plane of the wafer.
