Single used, robust, MEMS based electro-thermal micro switches for redundancy and system reconfiguration

Description : A new type of one-shot MEMS based thermal micro switch is described and its performance results are presented. The device consists in mechanically breaking a metallic line or locally soldering two metallic lines. The switching between the two stable states (on or off) is accomplished by a current pu...
