Abstract

See full text

An improved microelectromechanical device includes an upper plate, a lower plate, and a spacing structure. The upper plate includes a first surface and an opposite second surface. The lower plate is spaced from the upper plate. The lower plate includes a third surface that faces the first surface of the upper plate and a fourth surface that is opposite of the third surface. The lower plate also includes a series of structures disposed with the third surface of the lower plate. The spacing structure is coupled to the upper and lower plate. The spacing structure includes a base portion that is sealed to the first surface of the upper plate and the third surface of the lower plate. The spacing structure further includes a protrusion that extends from the base portion between the upper and lower plates.
