Menlo Micro

Menlo Micro is an Irvine, California-based technology company that uses advances in material science to develop microelectromechanical systems switches.
Technology  
Basic Information
Menlo Micro was founded in December 2016 as a spinoff by General Electric's GE Ventures venture subsidiary. Menlo Micro uses material science technology to develop advanced MEMS switches, which it calls Ideal Switches. The switches are similar to mechanical transistors, and can be used to build power switches. The switches are made from custom metal alloys plated onto glass wafers with through-glass via (TGVs), technology developed in conjunction with partner Corning. The technology is an alternative to traditional mechanical relays, which tend to be larger, slower and more prone to failure from metal fatigue. MEMS switches can be used for communication equipment, battery management, electric vehicles and medical instrumentation. The chip has been designed into GE's medical systems. Their low loss and low resistance makes them useful for handling the high power required for RF tuning of 5G networks.
