An apparatus includes a semiconductor structure having a cavity. The apparatus also includes a first electrical terminal on a first cavity side, a second electrical terminal on a second cavity side, and the second electrical terminal including an extension that overlaps part of the cavity. The apparatus also includes a bendable beam extending from the first cavity side and overlapping at least part of the extension. The apparatus also includes an actuator in a periphery of the beam, the actuator configured to generate a fringing electric field that causes the second beam side to move towards the extension in a direction different from the fringing electric field and bend the beam.
