Abstract

A transparent substrate has a micro electro-mechanical system (MEMS) on a first side of the substrate. An opaque layer is formed on a second side of the transparent substrate opposite the first side. The opaque layer comprises a first material that is removable by a MEMS release process. A second layer is formed on the opaque layer. The second layer comprises a second material that prevents contamination of a front end of line machine by the first material during a front end of line fabrication process.
