Abstract

First and second anchor features are formed on a substrate via a chromeless photolithography process. An elongated bridging feature is formed between the anchor features on the substrate via the chromeless photolithography process. A distance between the anchor features is sufficient to minimize lateral displacement at a center portion of the bridging feature without significant reduction in mechanical stability of the bridging feature.
