Abstract

A method for forming a gap in a silicon layer is described. A silicon layer is formed over a substrate. A nitride layer is formed over the silicon layer and an oxide layer is formed over the silicon layer, adjacent to the nitride layer. A portion of the oxide layer is then removed to form an exposed region of the silicon layer. Then an etchant is applied to the exposed region to form an gap of the silicon layer.
