A micro-relay includes a first substrate having stationary contacts and a
stationary electrode, a second substrate arranged so as to face the first
substrate, and a movable plate arranged between the first and second
substrates. The movable plate has a frame and a movable portion. The
frame is sandwiched between the first and second substrates to realize a
hermetical sealed structure. The movable portion has a movable electrode
facing the stationary electrode, and a movable contact faces the
stationary contacts. The movable portion moves between the first and
second substrates due to electrostatic attraction that develops between
the movable electrode and the stationary electrode.
