In-Situ Contact Surface Characterization in a MEMS Ohmic Switch under Low Current Switching

To develop robust microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) switching technology for low voltage direct current (DC) applications (1–12 V) there is a requirement for the investigation of wear caused by hot switching (contact operated while carrying a current load). Previous investigation of co...
