Abstract
In this work systematic approaches for extracting parameters of the static and dynamic response of electrostatic switches are presented. A novel strategy enables accurate and efficient extraction of the static pull-in state of voltage and charge driven actuators. Another strategy enables to extract parameters of the dynamic pull-in while only considering static states of the system
