Two-Directional Operation of Bistable Latchable Micro Switch Actuated by a Single Electrode

Curved micromechanical beams are a versatile platform for exploring multistable behavior, with potential applications in mechanical based logic elements and electrical and optical switches. Here we demonstrate bidirectional electrostatic actuation of a bistable, latched, micromechanical beam by the...
