ABSTRACT:
A suspended microstructure fabrication process. Photoresist pedestals are inserted in a sacrificial layer between the suspended microstructure and the substrate and photoresist spacers are inserted in the microstructure layer between non contacting portions of the suspended microstructure so that the photoresist pedestals and spacers support the microstructure bridge during the wet etching and drying process used to remove the sacrificial layer.
