Abstract (en)
[origin: US2005280974A1] The micromechanical switch comprises a deformable bridge ( 1 ), attached via its ends to a substrate ( 2 ), and actuating means ( 3 ) to deform the deformable bridge ( 1 ) so as to make an electric contact between a first conducting element ( 4 ) formed on the substrate ( 2 ), between the bridge ( 1 ) and the substrate ( 2 ), and a second conducting element ( 5 ), securedly affixed to a bottom face of the bridge. The second conducting element ( 5 ) is permanently connected, by means of a conducting line ( 6 ) securedly affixed to the bridge ( 1 ), to a third conducting element ( 7 ) arranged on the substrate ( 2 ) at the periphery of the bridge ( 1 ). The bridge ( 1 ) comprises a first insulating layer wherein a hole ( 10 ) is drilled, in which hole a conducting material is arranged salient from the bottom face of the bridge ( 1 ) so as to form the second conducting element ( 5 ).
