Abstract

A method for use in manufacturing a microelectromechanical system, such as a reflective stealth mirror includes the steps of: forming an I-shape mirror structure; forming a spacer layer over the I-shape mirror structure; and patterning the spacer layer to form at least one spacer along a side of the I-shape mirror structure.
