MEMS switch and method of fabricating the same

Abstract

A micro electro mechanical system switch and a method of fabricating the micro electro mechanical system switch. The micro electro mechanical system switch includes a substrate, a plurality of signal lines formed on the substrate and including switching contact points and a plurality of immovable electrodes formed among the signal lines on the substrate. A plurality of anchors protrude from the substrate to predetermined heights and support at least two actuating beams installed on an identical plane so as to move up and down. A connecting unit connects the at least two actuating beams. A support unit provided on the substrate supports the connecting unit and contacting plates are installed on lower surfaces of the at least two actuating beams so as to contact the switching contact points.
