Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 5:
6. A method of forming a semiconductor device, the method comprising:
providing a plurality of vertical structures and a plurality of trenches;
forming a first portion of a dielectric bridge by delivering a dielectric material at a non-zero angle of inclination relative to a normal extending perpendicular from a top surface of the plurality of vertical structures, wherein the dielectric bridge extends over at least one trench of the plurality of trenches; and
forming a second portion of the dielectric bridge by delivering the dielectric material at a second non-zero angle of inclination relative to the normal extending perpendicular from the top surface of the plurality of vertical structures, wherein the second portion of the dielectric bridge is connected to the first portion of the dielectric bridge, and wherein a cavity is formed beneath the dielectric bridge.
