A device structure comprises a patterned substrate comprising a substrate surface and a substrate post protruding from the substrate surface. The substrate post comprises a substrate post material. A component has a component top side and a component bottom side opposite the component top side. The component bottom side is disposed on the substrate post and extends over at least one edge of the substrate post. The component comprises a component material different from the substrate post material and the component comprises a broken (e.g., fractured) or separated component tether.
