ABSTRACT:
Processing and systems to create, and resulting products related to, very small-dimension singular, or monolithically arrayed, semiconductor mechanical devices. Processing is laser performed on selected semiconductor material whose internal crystalline structure becomes appropriately changed to establish the desired mechanical properties for a created device.
