Abstract: Described examples include a micromechanical device including a substrate and a base formed on a surface of the substrate; and a first layer extending from the base to a plane separated from the base by a via. The first layer forms an outer layer of the via and has a portion lying in the plane and surrounding the via. A first fill is formed in a first portion of the via. A strut is in the via and on the first fill. A second fill is in a second portion of the via on the strut and extends from the strut to the plane. A second layer is over the second fill and at least a portion of the second layer is over the portion of the first layer lying in the plane.

Abstract: A microelectromechanical system (MEMS) is comprised of a micromirror attached to a semiconductor device. A stack of inorganic high index materials comprised of titanium oxide, titanium nitride, and titanium is deposited above metal levels within the semiconductor device. Another stack of inorganic high index materials comprised of titanium oxide, titanium nitride, and titanium may be deposited in a continuous or dis-continuous layer within one or more of the dielectric layers. Each stack of high index material films is deposited at a depth and of thickness to achieve a minimum reflectance for the entire film system and to ensure maximum destructive interference at the targeted wavelength range. The high index material stack results in reduced light scattering during operation of the micromirror and improves contrast of the display system.

Abstract: A microelectromechanical (MEMS) device has a movable member supported above a substrate on a via support. The member and via support are fabricated integrally from first and second member forming layers. A first member forming layer forms a lower part of the member and supporting structure for the via support. First and second fill layers are deposited and patterned to form a plug that fills an inner cavity opening in the via structure. The plug is planarized to a planar part of the first member forming layer, and a second member forming layer is deposited over the first member forming layer and the planarized plug to form an upper part of the member. The via support may have a cavity filled by BARC layers.

Abstract: In described examples, a cavity is formed between a substrate and a cap. One or more access holes are formed through the cap for removing portions of a sacrificial layer from within the cavity. A cover is supported by the cap, where the cover is for occulting the one or more access holes along a perspective. An encapsulant seals the cavity, where the encapsulant encapsulates the cover and the one or more access holes.

A first member forming layer forms a lower part of the member and supporting structure for the via support. First and second fill layers are deposited and patterned to form a plug that fills an inner cavity opening in the via structure. The plug is planarized to a planar part of the first member forming layer, and a second member forming layer is deposited over the first member forming layer and the planarized plug to form an upper part of the member. In an example micromirror device, metal layers define a movable mirror member supported on a via support which has a cavity filled by BARC layers. The BARC layers are planarized to a planar portion of a first metal layer and a second metal layer is formed over the first metal layer planar portion and planarized BARC layer plug.
