I would like to ask for your opinions about the future research work between RF MEMS and RF IC, which one has brighter future and opportunity in getting job. What is the advantage and disadvantage between them?
Thanks a lot for your reply, I appriciate this much. So, I need more comments on the future of RF MEMS and RF IC based on CMOS/BiCMOS technologies. Any comments are welcome.

copy only www.mimosa-fp6.com/fileadmin/ pdf/WS_ESSDERC/ and then you can find the documents there.
Hi,
about advantage and disadvantage between them:
they are two different area, so you can't compare between them.
most of the RF MEMS subjects refers to passive devices, while most of RFIC is active devices.
about future vision, in my opinion any radio device should include RFIC chip, it may be without a RF-MEMS device, the RF-MEMS devices will improve overall performance but it won't be a stand alone in a system.
