A movable device simultaneously enabling reduction of size down to the
submicron level, higher speed operation, a streamlined production
process, low costs, and greater reliability. A movable device provided
with bottom electrodes and a basic conductive layer fixed to a substrate,
an elastic shaft of a carbon nanotube with a bottom end fixed on the
basic conductive layer and standing up, and a top structure including a
top electrode spaced away from the bottom electrode and fixed to a top
end of the elastic shaft, wherein when applying voltage between a bottom
electrode and the top electrode, the top electrode displaces relatively
to the bottom electrodes within an allowable range of elastic deformation
of the elastic shaft.
