“…The integration of PCM technologies into high frequencies (including millimeter-wave domain) functions is based on their capacity to change from a conductive state, ON (crystalline phase) to an insulating sate, OFF (amorphous phase). The material's properties are controlled using the application of a thermal, electrical or optical stimulus [12]- [15]. The key advantage of PCM-based devices technology is the bi-stability, i.e.…”

We present the integration of Germanium Telluride (GeTe), a phase change material (PCM), within a conventional patch antenna operating in the millimeter wave domain (~ 30 GHz). The GeTe is integrated within the four corners of the metallic patch, which is excited by a microstrip line. The phase changes between the insulating (OFF) and metallic (ON) states of GeTe are controlled using shorts ultraviolet (UV) laser pulses. That allows the reconfiguration of the device between a linear polarization (LP), a left hand circular polarization (LHCP) and a right hand circular polarization (RHCP). Measured results of the fabricated antenna show total efficiencies up to 75 % for the circular polarization (CP) and a 3 dB bandwidth of axial ratio (AR) over 350 MHz around 29.5 GHz.

“…Several publications already have showed that their electrical performance can overcome the current state-of-the-art of conventional devices. Several PCM as Germanium Telluride GeTe [1], Germanium Antimony Telluride GeSbTe [2], and Germanium Antimonide GeSb [3] have already been used. Electrical switching is ensured by a change in the structural phase of the material submitted to a temperature gradient.…”

“…Heating may also be indirect. In that case, electrical signal heats an intermediate highly resistive material that transfers its calorific energy to PCM via Joule effect [1]. Phase change induces an important resistive transition in the material.…”

This paper presents the phase change characterization of Germanium Telluride GeTe used for RF switches when a direct heating is performed. The study describes the method to activate the transition between crystalline and amorphous states, allowing to reach a resistance ratio of 1.8.10 4 between both states. RF measurements were performed up to 40 GHz on fabricated switches, showing an ON-state resistance of 1.7 Ω. An OFF-state capacitance of 5.4 fF was extracted from simulation, resulting in an estimated cutoff frequency of 17 THz. The study also shows the importance of the GeTe thickness to optimize the performance of the device.
