MEMS devices (100) and methods for forming the devices have now been provided. In one exemplary embodiment, the MEMS device (100) comprises a substrate (106) having a surface, an electrode (128) having a first portion coupled to the substrate surface, and a second portion movably suspended above the substrate surface, and a stress-release mechanism (204) disposed on the electrode second portion, the stress-release mechanism (204) including a first slot (208) integrally formed in the electrode. In another exemplary embodiment, the substrate (106) includes an anchor (134, 136) and the stress-release mechanism 222 is formed adjacent the anchor (134, 136). |
