In an example, a method of manufacturing a MEMS device includes forming a via. The method also includes depositing metal in the via and depositing a first layer of a non-photoactive organic polymer on the metal. The method includes baking the first layer of the non-photoactive organic polymer. The method also includes depositing a second layer of the non-photoactive organic polymer on the first layer of the non-photoactive organic polymer after baking the first layer of the non-photoactive organic polymer. The method includes baking the second layer of the non-photoactive organic polymer. The method also includes etching the first layer and the second layer of the non-photoactive organic polymer.

System and method for array of MEMS elements

In an example, a method includes depositing an organic polymer layer on one or more material layers. The method also includes thermally curing the organic polymer layer. The method includes depositing a hard mask on the organic polymer layer and depositing a photoresist layer on the hard mask. The method also includes patterning the photoresist layer to expose at least a portion of the hard mask. The method includes etching the exposed portion of the hard mask to expose at least a portion of the organic polymer layer. The method also includes etching the exposed portion of the organic polymer layer to expose at least a portion of the one or more material layers.
