Electromechanical switch

Abstract

An electromechanical switch, includes a substrate, a beam which is mounted on the substrate at both end parts thereof, a first driving electrode which is provided on the beam, a first signal transmitting electrode which is provided on the beam and is electrically separated from the first driving electrode, a second driving electrode which is provided on the substrate and pulls in the first driving electrode when the electric potential is applied between the first driving electrode and the second driving electrode, a second signal transmitting electrode which is provided on the substrate, and is brought into contact with the first signal transmitting electrode when the first driving electrode is pulled in the second driving electrode, the second signal transmitting electrode being electrically separated from the second driving electrode, and a fixed electrode which is formed so as to have electrostatic power with respect to the first driving electrode, and pulls in the first driving electrode so as to separate the first driving electrode from the second driving electrode when the electric potential is applied between the first driving electrode and the fixed electrode.
