Abstract

A micromachined device is provided that establishes select dimensional relationships between micromachined structures to achieve correlation in dimensional variation among these structures. Such dimensional relationships are achieved through consistent spacing between desired operating structures and by adding new structures (i.e., dimensional control structures) which provide additional consistent spacing at desired locations within the micromachined device.
