Claim Text:
1. A system comprising: a processing component; a memory component coupled to the processing component; and a wireless radio component to propagate a radio frequency (RF) signal coupled to the processing component, wherein the wireless radio component is to include an RF switch, the RF switch having, an actuation electrode; and a cantilever including, a top electrode layer; a piezoelectric layer located below and attached to the top electrode layer, wherein the piezoelectric layer includes aluminum nitride (AlN) and wherein the cantilever is deformed via a first piezoelectric force to reduce the gap between the bottom electrode layer and the actuation electrode upon application of a first voltage; and a bottom electrode layer located below and attached to the piezoelectric layer, wherein a protrusion extends from the bottom electrode layer to create a gap between the protrusion and a transmission electrode wherein the cantilever is deformed via an electrostatic force to bend the cantilever to contact the actuation electrode upon application of a second voltage between the bottom electrode layer and the actuation electrode.
