Abstract

A microelectromechanical system (MEMS) switch includes a movable beam suspended over a first set of conductive contacts and a second set of conductive contacts. Actuation of the MEMS switch occurs in two stages. During actuation of the MEMS switch, the movable beam is brought into contact with the first set of conductive contacts in a first stage of actuation. A first conduction path is created when the movable beam contacts the first set of conductive contacts. Continued actuation of the MEMS switch causes the movable beam to contact the second set of conductive contacts in a second stage of actuation. A second conduction path is created when the movable beam contacts the second set of conductive contacts.
