Abstract
An electronic device can include one or more trenches that include a material that defines one or more voids. In an embodiment, the substrate defines a first trench having a first portion and a second portion laterally adjacent to the first portion, wherein the first portion has with a first width, the second portion has a second width, and the first width is wider than the second width. The material defines a first void at a predetermined location within the first portion of the first trench and has a seam within the second portion of the first trench. In another embodiment, the substrate defining a trench, and the material that defines spaced-apart voids at predetermined locations within the trench. A process of forming the electronic device can include patterning a substrate to define a trench, and depositing a material within the trench, wherein the deposited material defines a void.
