Claim:
1. A MEMS switch comprising: a substrate having a top surface; an insulator layer on at least a portion of the top surface of the substrate, the insulator layer and substrate forming a base; a cap; bonding material securing the cap to the base to form an interior chamber, the cap forming an exterior region of the base that is exterior to the interior chamber; a movable member having a member contact portion; an interior contact, the member contact portion being configured to alternatively contact the interior contact, the movable member and interior contact being within the interior chamber; an exterior contact at the exterior region of the base; and a conductor at least partially within the insulator layer, the conductor electrically connecting the interior contact and the exterior contact, the conductor being spaced from and electrically isolated from the bonding material securing the cap to the base.
