Summary:A method and geometry for reducing drift in an electrostatically actuated device, the electrostatically actuated device including a dielectric material, for insulating conducting sections from a ground, the conducting sections being used to generate an electric field for controlling thereby the electrostatically actuated device includes, configuring a geometry of the dielectric material such that the electric field applied to exposed dielectric material comprises a substantially homogeneous electric field.
