A MEMS switch is provided wherein contact force sufficient to make a contact having low contact resistance is maintained after contact-formation to maintain low contact resistance at the signal transmission contact in “on” state. Provided is a MEMS switch 100 including a first electrode 101, a second electrode 104 opposed to and separated from the first electrode, a third and a fourth electrodes 1021 and 1022, wherein electrical contact is made between the electrodes 101 and 104 by electrostatic force generated between the electrode 101 and the electrodes 1021, 1022, and a bump which can form the contact between the electrode 101 and the electrode 1021 and/or 1022 is provided on the electrode 101, and a gap is formed between the electrode 101 and the electrode 1021 and/or 1022 when the electrical contact is made, and control signals are input to the electrodes 1021 and 1022 independently.
