A process for constructing a micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) device includes etching the topside of a silicon wafer to form a first support layer having asymmetric pads. The backside of the silicon wafer is etched to form a top layer with a mirror, beam structures extending from the mirror, and rotating comb teeth extending from the beam structures. Before or after the backside of the silicon wafer is etched, the topside of the silicon wafer is bonded to a glass wafer that forms a second support layer. Prior to bonding the silicon wafer to the glass wafer, the glass wafer may be etched to form a recess and/or a cavity that accommodates mobile elements in the silicon wafer. Due to the asymmetry of the pads in the first support layer below the rotating comb teeth in the top layer, oscillation can be initiated.
