Abstract:
A method of forming a device is provided. The method includes providing a substrate, forming a sacrificial layer over the substrate, and forming an field layer around the sacrificial layer. After formation, both the sacrificial layer and the field layer are planarized. A component is then formed over the planarized sacrificial layer and the planarized field layer. The component has a first electrode and a second electrode and a single crystal wafer disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode. The component also includes anchors disposed substantially over the field layer. Once the component is formed, the sacrificial layer is released with an etchant having a selectivity for the sacrificial layer such that a cavity is formed beneath the component. The cavity allows free movement component within the cavity during operation of the device. In addition, the etchant does not release the field layer and the component such that the field layer remains below the anchors.
