High-power MEMS switch enabled by carbon-nanotube contact and shape-memory-alloy actuator

A forest of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is integrated as an electrical contact material with a high-power, normally-open switch based on micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) technology. A shape-memory-alloy (SMA) cantilever is thermally actuated to enable switching between the...
