Abstract
A vacuum device, including a substrate and a support structure having a support perimeter, where the support structure is disposed over the substrate. In addition, the vacuum device also includes a non-evaporable getter layer having an exposed surface area. The non-evaporable getter layer is disposed over the support structure, and extends beyond the support perimeter, in at least one direction, of the support structure forming a vacuum gap between the substrate and the non-evaporable getter layer increasing the exposed surface area.
