    Abstract: A method of fabricating a semiconductor device, includes, in part, growing a first layer of oxide on a surface of a first semiconductor substrate, forming a layer of insulating material on the oxide layer, patterning and etching the insulating material and the first oxide layer to form a multitude of oxide-insulator structures and further to expose the surface of the semiconductor substrate, growing a second layer of oxide in the exposed surface of the semiconductor substrate, and removing the second layer of oxide thereby to form a cavity in which a MEMS device is formed. The process of growing oxide in the exposed surface of the cavity and removing this oxide may be repeated until the cavity depth reaches a predefined value. Optionally, a multitude of bump stops is formed in the cavity.

    Abstract: A method of processing a semiconductor substrate having a first conductivity type includes, in part, forming a first implant region of a second conductivity type in the semiconductor substrate where the first implant region is characterized by a first depth, forming a second implant region of the first conductivity type in the semiconductor substrate where the second implant region is characterized by a second depth smaller than the first depth, forming a porous layer within the semiconductor substrate where the porous layer is adjacent the first implant region, and growing an epitaxial layer on the semiconductor substrate thereby causing the porous layer to collapse and form a cavity.
