Abstract
The continuously evolving MEMS technology for RF/microwave applications poses issues regarding new reliability and lifetime estimation. We will overview the most important degradation mechanisms concerning capacitive and ohmic RF-MEMS devices and their effects on the device lifetime. Preliminary results will also be given on ElectroStatic Discharge effects on ohmic shunt switches adopting a Transmission Line Pulse stress technique.
