Abstract
A switch that is capable of responding at a high rate at a lower DC potential while providing high isolation. In this switch, a microstructure group, having microstructures, is used. By slightly moving the microstructures a small amount the group, as a whole, achieves a large amount of movement. Also, by this configuration, it is possible to decrease a DC potential to apply to control electrodes of the microstructures. As a result, a high isolation switch capable of operating at a high rate at a lower DC potential is realized.
