Abstract
The present disclosure, in some embodiments, relates to a semiconductor structure. The semiconductor structure includes a substrate. As viewed from a top-view, the substrate has a first sidewall, one or more second sidewalls, and a plurality of third sidewalls. The first sidewall extends along a first direction and defines a first side of a trench. The one or more second sidewalls extends along the first direction and define a second side of the trench. The plurality of third sidewalls are oriented in parallel and extends in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The plurality of third sidewalls protrude outward from the second side of the trench and define a plurality of parallel releasing openings that are separated along the first direction by the substrate. The trench continuously extends in opposing directions past the plurality of parallel releasing openings.
