  • Patent number: 5051643
    Abstract: An electrostatically energized and integrable relay is disclosed that has dimensions that permit closure and maintenance of a contact between electrodes using electrostatic forces exclusively. The physical dimensions are such that it could be formed using integrated circuit fabrication techniques. Small spacing between the electrodes of the relay permit the device to be usable in an integrated form, perhaps on an integrated circuit substrate.
