Abstract

A method is disclosed for making a device having one or more deposited layers and subject to a post deposition high temperature anneal. Opposing films having similar mechanical properties are deposited on the front and back faces of a wafer, which is subsequently subjected a high temperature anneal. The opposing films tend to cancel out stress-induced warping of the wafer during the subsequent anneal.
