Abstract (en)

A MEMS switch comprising a pair of contact-making surfaces, at least one of which is movable relative to the other to open or close the switch, a said surface being carried by a flexible element, and actuator means configured to effect said relative movement, the arrangement being such that when the switch is closed the flexible element is deformed to conform the contacting surface defined thereon to the other contacting surface.
