Abstract

See full text

A method of fabricating a MEMS device. A first spacer is formed above a CMOS substrate containing circuitry. Vias are formed within the first spacer. A first metal is formed above the first spacer and vias and patterned to form a MEMS element. A second spacer is formed above the MEMS element and first spacer. A via is formed within the second spacer. A second metal is formed above the second spacer and the via. A capping layer is formed above the second metal. The second metal is patterned to form a second MEMS element. The device is cleaned using a developer solution while the capping layer protects the second MEMS element. The first and second spacers are removed to release the first and second MEMS elements.
