SWITCH ASSEMBLY AND METHOD OF FORMING THE SAME

摘要

A microelectromechanical system (MEMS) switch assembly (10) and a method of forming the MEMBS switch assembly (10) is provided that includes a switching member (12) having a first portion (34) that is at least partially formed with a first material having a first dielectric constant and a second portion (36) that is at least partially formed with a second material having a second dielectric constant. Furthermore, the switching member (12) further includes a first lead (14) spaced apart from a second lead (16) for contacting the switching member (12). In operation, the switching member (12) is configured for movement such that the first portion (34) and second portion (36) of the switching member (12) can provide variable electrical connections between the first lead (14) and second lead (16).
