Abstract
An apparatus includes a semiconductor structure having a cavity, a first terminal on a first cavity side, and a second terminal on a second cavity side. The second terminal includes an extension that overlaps part of the cavity. The extension includes a first contact. The apparatus includes a bendable beam extending from the first cavity side and includes a metal layer coupled to the first terminal. The beam has opposite first and second beam sides. The first beam side couples to the first terminal, and the second beam side faces the second cavity side. The beam includes a second contact that overlaps at least a portion of the extension and faces the first contact. An actuator is configured to bend the bendable beam around a first axis, and bend the bendable beam around a second axis orthogonal to the first axis by moving the second beam side against the extension.
