Abstract
A thin film microstructure is formed from a substrate having a film of vapor deposited material extending in distinct helical columns from the substrate. The distinct helical columns may terminate distally from the substrate in a region of denser material forming a cap for the helical columns. The cap and substrate may be each connected, respectively, to first and second electrodes, and may operate in conjunction with an acoustic wave sensor.
