Support structure for free-standing MEMS device and methods for forming the same

摘要

A microelectromechanical (MEMS) device includes a functional layer including a first material and a deformable layer including a second material. The second material is different from the first material. The deformable layer is mechanically coupled to the functional layer at a junction. The functional layer and the deformable layer have substantially equal internal stresses at the junction.
