Abstract

NEM relay-based circuits can operate in harsh environmental conditions, high temperatures and high levels of radiation, without consuming energy in standby mode. These attributes make NEM relay technology very attractive for edge computing applications in industrial and manufacturing sectors. Here we describe a complete hardware platform for designing and fabricating densely integrated NEM relay circuits, and discuss the design of several prototypes we are developing to showcase this technology.
