Mercury Microswitches for Programmable Circuit Interconnect
Sorry, this project does not yet have a web page. For now, here are
some photos from past research on the mercury microswitch and pointers
to the MEMS lab where they were created.
An annotated photo of the planar process mercury switch (from
C. J. Kim's Lab at UCLA).
Another photo of a mercury droplet in a test for the effect of patterning
contacts on the voltage required to move the droplet
(from C. J. Kim's Lab at UCLA).
