A microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) device includes a substrate (20), an array region (ARRAY), and a peripheral region (INTERCONNECT). The array region (ARRAY) includes a lower electrode (16A, 16B), a movable upper electrode (14), and a cavity (19) between the lower electrode (16A, 16B) and the upper electrode (14). The peripheral region (INTERCONNECT) includes a portion of a layer forming the upper electrode (14) in the array region (ARRAY) and an electrical interconnect (58). The electrical interconnect (58) includes a conductive material (50) electrically connected to at least one of the lower electrode (16A, 16B) and the upper electrode (14). The electrical interconnect (58) is formed of a layer separate from and below the layer forming the upper electrode (14) in the array region (ARRAY). The conductive material (50) is selected from the group consisting of nickel, chromium, copper, and silver. |
