Claim 8:
9. A device comprising a substrate and a structure disposed on the substrate, wherein the structure comprises:
first and second members spaced a distance from each other along a direction;
a strip located between the first and second members and extending along an axis intersecting said direction; and
arms connecting the first and second members to a first end of the strip,
wherein the first and second members comprise respective portions of a first layer, wherein the first layer is a sacrificial layer, wherein the first and second members, the strip and the arms comprise respective portions of a second layer, wherein the second layer includes a plurality of sublayers arranged as a stack of sublayers of a first type and sublayers of a second type disposed sequentially on top of each other, wherein the first type of sublayers are germanium sublayers and the second type of sublayers comprise an alloy including germanium and tin, wherein the portions of the second layer located in the first and second members are disposed on the respective portions of the first layer located in the first and second members, wherein the portions of the second layer located in the first and second members are compressively strained, wherein the strip and arms are suspended above the substrate, and wherein the arms are anchored to the first layer via the first and second members.
