Abstract

See full text

The fabrication of a MEMS device such as an interferometric modulator is improved by employing an etch stop layer between a sacrificial layer and a an electrode. The etch stop may reduce undesirable over-etching of the sacrificial layer and the electrode. The etch stop layer may also serve as a barrier layer, buffer layer, and or template layer. The etch stop layer may include silicon-rich silicon nitride.
