    Abstract: A MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) structure comprises a MEMS wafer. A MEMS wafer includes a cap with cavities bonded to a structural layer through a dielectric layer disposed between the cap and the structural layer. Unique configurations of MEMS devices and methods of providing such are set forth which provide for, in part, creating rounded, scalloped or chamfered MEMS profiles by shaping the etch mask photoresist reflow, by using a multi-step deep reactive ion etch (DRIE) with different etch characteristics, or by etching after DRIE.

    Abstract: Vias are formed in a substrate using an etch process that forms an undercut profile below the mask layer. The vias are coated with a conformal insulating layer and an etch process is applied to the structures to remove the insulating layer from horizontal surfaces while leaving the insulating layers on the vertical sidewalls of the vias. The top regions of the vias are protected during the etchback process by the undercut hardmask.
