ABSTRACT:
A unitary micro-flexure structure and a method of making the same, wherein the structure takes the form of an elongate dielectric flexure body having a mounting end and a free end, and which is adapted for cantilevered disposition, wherein the body takes a form which is constructed entirely from thin-film deposition and patterning processes involving the deposition of a metal oxide, and further wherein the body has a topography which is at least partially determined by etch-removable boundary-defining structure.
