Abstract
A method of fabricating a silicon-based microstructure is disclosed, which involves depositing electrically conductive amorphous silicon doped with first and second dopants to produce a structure having a residual mechanical stress of less than +/=100 Mpa. The dopants can either be deposited in successive layers to produce a laminated structure with a residual mechanical stress of less than +/=100 Mpa or simultaneously to produce a laminated structure having a mechanical stress of less than +/=100 Mpa.
