A switch and method for producing the same. In one embodiment, the switch
is produced by depositing a liquid switching element on a substrate, the
volume of the liquid switching element being more than needed to fulfill a
switching function. A channel plate is moved toward the substrate, the
channel plate having a main channel with at least one reservoir
fluidically connected thereto, an excess portion of the liquid switching
element flowing into the least one reservoir. The channel plate is closed
against the substrate.
