    摘要: A micro electromechanical (MEMS) switch suitable for use in medical devices is provided, along with methods of producing and using MEMS switches. In one aspect, a micro electromechanical switch including a moveable member configured to electrically cooperate with a receiving terminal is formed on a substrate. The moveable member and the receiving terminal each include an insulating layer proximate to the substrate and a conducting layer proximate to the insulating layer opposite the substrate. In various embodiments, the conducting layers of the moveable member and/or receiving terminal include a protruding region that extends outward from the substrate to switchably couple the conducting layers of the moveable member and the receiving terminal to thereby form a switch. The switch may be actuated using, for example, electrostatic energy.

    摘要: A bistable MEMS switch for use in selectively opening or closing electrical circuits included in an implantable medical device system is provided. The switch includes a central movable beam having a movable contact; a suspension system for supporting the movable beam and generating a contact force; an actuator for displacing the beam upon application of an activation signal, and a fixed contact for interfacing the movable contact when the switch is in a closed state. The switch is fabricated from a Si/SiO2/Si wafer using photolithography, DRIE and sacrificial oxide etching followed by metalization of electrical contact points with a wear-resistant metal or alloy. An actuation layer may be fabricated from the silicon substrate layer of the wafer and the signal layer may be fabricated from the top silicon layer. The actuation layer and signal layer are thereby electrically decoupled and mechanically coupled by the intervening SiO2 layer.
