Abstract
A method includes forming an etch stop layer over a first side of a device wafer. The method also includes forming a polysilicon layer over the etch stop layer. A handle wafer is fusion bonded to the first side of the device wafer. A eutectic bond layer is formed on a second side of the device wafer. A micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) features are etched into the second side of the device wafer to expose the etch stop layer. The exposed etch stop layer is removed to expose the polysilicon layer. The exposed polysilicon layer is removed to expose a cavity formed between the handle wafer and the device wafer.
