Patent ID: 7598829

Claim:
A MEMS device comprising: a first non-conductive layer lying over a semiconductor material; a plurality of lower coil sections touching the first non-conductive layer, the plurality of lower coil sections being conductive; a second non-conductive layer touching the plurality of lower coil sections; an actuation member being conductive and having a core section that touches the second non-conductive layer and lies over the plurality of lower coil sections, and a cantilever section that lies vertically over the core section, the core section having an end, the cantilever section having an end, the end of the cantilever section being vertically movable towards the end of the core section, the cantilever section having an opening that extends through the cantilever section at the end of the cantilever section; a first conductive region lying over the end of the core section; and a second conductive region lying over the cantilever section, a contact section of the second conductive region extending through the opening at the end of the cantilever section.
