Previously‐reported purely‐organic microelectromechanical relays suffer from a high on‐state resistance above 1 GΩ, which makes them unsuitable for relay‐based organic integrated circuits. This letter demonstrates partially‐organic relays that employ a metal and/or a metal oxide for their contacts to alleviate the issue.
