Claim:
1. An electronic device, comprising: a semiconductor chip coupled to a package substrate; at least one switch housed at least partially within the package substrate, the switch including; a conductive trace; a conductive beam housed within a package substrate dielectric, the conductive beam having at least one end that is exposed within the dielectric and is free to move; wherein the at least one end is spaced apart from a corresponding conductive trace by a gap; a magnetic component configured to provide at least a portion of an actuation force to move the at least one end; an electrostatic mechanism configured to provide at least a portion of the actuation force to move or hold in place the at least one end adjacent to the conductive trace; and the conductive beam includes one or more openings for tuning the actuation force required to move the at least one end of the conductive beam.
