Abstract

An integrated circuit (IC) device includes: a first substrate; a dielectric layer disposed over the first substrate; and a second substrate disposed over the dielectric layer. The second substrate includes anchor regions comprising silicon extending upwards from the dielectric layer, and a series of interdigitated fingers extend from inner sidewalls of the anchor regions. The interdigitated fingers extend generally in parallel with one another in a first direction and have respective finger lengths that extend generally in the first direction. A plurality of peaks comprising silicon is disposed on the dielectric layer directly below the respective interdigitated fingers. The series of interdigitated fingers are cantilevered over the plurality of peaks. A first peak is disposed below a base of a finger and has a first height, and a second peak is disposed below a tip of the finger and has a second height less than the first height.
