Abstract :
We present a design, simulation results and fabrication of electromechanical switches enabling parallel data processing and multi functionality. The device is applied in logic gates AND, NOR, XNOR, and Flip-Flops. The device footprint size is 2μm by 0.5μm, and has a pull-in voltage of 5.15V which is verified by FEM simulation.
