Abstract

An MEMS structure and a method of manufacturing the same are provided. The MEMS structure includes a substrate and at least one suspended microstructure located on the substrate. The suspended microstructure includes a plurality of metal layers, at least one dielectric layer, and at least one peripheral metal wall. The dielectric layer is sandwiched by the metal layers, and the peripheral metal wall is parallel to a thickness direction of the suspended microstructure and surrounds an edge of the dielectric layer.
