摘要：
We show that the commonly quoted number of cycles to failure is not a good figure of merit for the reliability of RF MEMS capacitive switches suffering from charging induced stiction failures. We use data from a new tool for low-frequency RF MEMS capacitance measurements and interferometric optical inspection. The total time the device is actuated before it fails is a much better measure.
