Abstract:
1. An electromechanical switch, comprising: a first beam; a second beam arranged in parallel with the first beam, and connected to the first beam through a connecting portion; a first electrode formed so as to have a first gap between the first electrode and the first beam; a voltage applying portion which applies a voltage between the first beam and the first electrode; and a second electrode formed so as to have a second gap between the second electrode and the second beam, the second gap being greater than the first gap in any portion of the first beam, wherein the first beam is displaced when the voltage applying portion applies the voltage between the first beam and the first electrode, so that switching between the second beam and the second electrode is performed in a state that the first beam is not electrically connected to the first electrode, wherein the first beam is configured as a both-end fixed beam; wherein the second beam is configured as a cantilevered beam; and wherein the both-end fixed beam is connected to the cantilevered beam through the connecting portion.
