Abstract:
1. An integrated electro-mechanical actuator ( 1 ) comprising: actuator electrodes with an electrostatic actuator gap between the actuator electrodes, and contact electrodes with an electrical contact gap between the contact electrodes, wherein an inclination with an inclination angle is provided between said actuator electrodes and said contact electrodes, and at least one electro-mechanical switch, wherein in an actuated switching state of said electro-mechanical switch said contact gap is closed and when in a not actuated switching state of said electro-mechanical switch said contact gap is not closed; and in the actuated switching state of said electro-mechanical switch, a structured contact beam fixed to a contact electrode is flexed in response to an electrostatic force generated by an electrical field between said structured contact beam and an actuator electrode.
