Abstract

Microstructure devices, methods of forming a microstructure device and a method of forming a MEMS device are described. According to one aspect, a microstructure device includes: a semiconductive substrate; a monolithic microstructure device feature coupled with the semiconductive substrate, and wherein at least a portion of the microstructure device feature is configured to move relative to the semiconductive substrate; and a conductive structure provided directly upon the microstructure device feature.
