Shunt transmission line in X- to W-band (77 GHz and 94 GHz).
Phase shifter for car radar.
RF MEMs switch
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RF_MEMS#Microfabrication
"Electrostatically-actuated RF MEMS components offer low insertion loss and high isolation, linearity, power handling and Q factor, do not consume power, but require a high control voltage and hermetic single-chip packaging (thin film capping, LCP or LTCC packaging) or wafer-level packaging (anodic or glass frit wafer bonding)."
"An ohmic cantilever RF MEMS switch, as shown in Fig. 1(b), is capacitive in the up-state, but makes an ohmic contact in the down-state. It is generally connected in series with the transmission line and is used in DC to the Ka-band (26.5–40 GHz) components."
Micro-mirror displays
Flip the light on and off for gray. Each pixel contains SRAM cells so all can be flipped together.

Arrays + CMOS
An application like a mirror array needs on-chip control electronics.
The thermal budget for the micromechanical fabrication is limited by the underlying CMOS.

A simple micropump, suitable forelectrolytes, based on the periodic growth and collapse of a single vaporbubble in a microchannel. With a channel diameter of the order of 100 μm,pumping rates of several tens of μl/min and pressure differences of severalkPa are readily achieved by the system. The pump is notable for itseffectiveness, simplicity, absence of mechanical moving parts, robustnessand low cost.

A SAW transducer can be used to generate or detect SAWs. A pair act as a bandpass filter.
Surface acoustic waves (SAW)
Surface acoustic waves can be generated on piezoelectric crystals (quartz, GaAs).
