Abstract

Batch fabrication of thin film structures can be facilitated by sandwiching a thin film between a first and a second polymeric or elastomeric layers. The sandwiched layer can be machined to define a thin film structure, typically a micoroelectromechanical element. This element is separated from the sandwiching layers by adhesive attachment to a target substrate.
