Abstract

The present disclosure generally relates to a mechanism for making a MEMS switch that can switch large electrical powers. Extra landing electrodes are employed that provide added electrical contact along the MEMS device so that when in contact current and heat are removed from the MEMS structure close to the hottest points.
