Abstract

A void (60) is created in a semiconductor substrate (52) by forming a cavity which is subsequently filled with an organic polymer (66). The organic polymer is masked and etched to form a spacer. A dielectric (70) fills the portions of the cavity where the organic polymer was etched away. The organic polymer is subsequently etched leaving a void.
