Abstract
A microelectronic switch having a substrate layer, an electrically conductive switching layer formed on the substrate layer, an electrically conductive cavity layer formed on the switching layer, an electrically conductive cap layer formed on the cavity layer, the cap layer forming a first electrode and a second electrode that are physically and electrically separated one from another, and which both at least partially overlie the switching layer, and a cavity disposed between the switching layer and the second electrode, where the switching is layer is flexible to make electrical contact with the second electrode by flexing through the cavity upon selective application of an electrical bias.
