    Abstract: A method for manufacturing an MEMS torsional electrostatic actuator comprises: providing a substrate, wherein the substrate comprises a first silicon layer, a buried oxide layer and a second silicon layer that are laminated sequentially; patterning the first silicon layer and exposing the buried oxide layer to form a rectangular upper electrode plate separated from a peripheral region, wherein the upper electrode plate and the peripheral region are connected by only using a cantilever beam, and forming, on the peripheral region, a recessed portion exposing the buried oxide layer; patterning the second silicon layer and exposing the buried oxide layer to form a back cavity, wherein the back cavity is located in a region of the second silicon layer corresponding to the upper electrode plate, covers 40% to 60% of the area of the region corresponding to the upper electrode plate, and is close to one end of the cantilever beam; exposing the second silicon layer, and suspending the upper electrode plate and the cantilever beam; and respectively forming an upper contact electrode and a lower contact electrode on the second silicon layer.

    Abstract: MEMS devices (such as interferometric modulators) may be fabricated using a sacrificial layer that contains a heat vaporizable polymer to form a gap between a moveable layer and a substrate. One embodiment provides a method of making a MEMS device that includes depositing a polymer layer over a substrate, forming an electrically conductive layer over the polymer layer, and vaporizing at least a portion of the polymer layer to form a cavity between the substrate and the electrically conductive layer. Another embodiment provides a method for making an interferometric modulator that includes providing a substrate, depositing a first electrically conductive material over at least a portion of the substrate, depositing a sacrificial material over at least a portion of the first electrically conductive material, depositing an insulator over the substrate and adjacent to the sacrificial material to form a support structure, and depositing a second electrically conductive material over at least a portion of the sacrificial material, the sacrificial material being removable by heat-vaporization to thereby form a cavity between the first electrically conductive layer and the second electrically conductive layer.
