    摘要: In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) comb actuator including a comb structure. The comb structure includes a support layer having a first material and a plurality of protrusions extending away from a first surface of the support layer in a first direction. The plurality of protrusions are also made of the first material. The plurality of protrusions are separated along a second direction parallel to the first surface of the support layer. The MEMS comb actuator may further include a dielectric liner structure that continuously and completely covers the first surface of the support layer and outer surfaces of the plurality of protrusions. The dielectric liner structure includes a connective portion that continuously connects topmost surfaces of at least two of the plurality of protrusions.

    摘要: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards an apparatus comprising a semiconductor substrate. A conductive pillar is disposed in the semiconductor substrate. An isolation region is disposed in the semiconductor substrate and extends laterally around the conductive pillar. The isolation region is configured to electrically isolate the conductive pillar from a surrounding portion of the semiconductor substrate. An opening is disposed in the isolation region. A dielectric anchor is disposed in the isolation region. The dielectric anchor extends vertically through the semiconductor substrate along a side of the opening. The dielectric anchor anchors the conductive pillar to the semiconductor substrate.
