Abstract

The present invention is directed to a MEMS device (12) and technique of fabricating or manufacturing the MEMS device (12) having mechanical structures (20a, 20b, 20c) and anchors (30a, 30b, 30c) to secure the mechanical structures (20a, 20b, 20c) to the substrate (14). The anchors (30a, 30b, 30c) of the present invention are comprised of a material that is relatively unaffected by the release processes of the mechanical structures (20a, 20b, 20c). In this regard, the etch release process is selective or preferential to the material(s) securing the mechanical structures (20a, 20b, 20c) in relation to the material comprising the anchors (30a, 30b, 30c). Moreover, the anchors (30a, 30b, 30c) of the present invention are secured to the substrate (14) in such a manner that removal of the insulation layer has little to no affect on the anchoring of the mechanical structures (20a, 20b, 20c) to the substrate (14).
