Claim 18:
19. 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;
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 comprises 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;
third and fourth members spaced a distance from each other along said direction, wherein the strip is located between the third and fourth members, the third and fourth members comprising respective portions of the first and second layers, wherein the portions of the second layer located in the third and fourth members are disposed on the respective portions of the first layer located in the third and fourth members, and wherein the portions of the second layer located in the third and fourth members are compressively strained; and
additional arms connecting the third and fourth members to a second end of the strip, wherein the additional arms comprise respective portions of the second layer, and wherein the additional arms are suspended above the substrate and are anchored to the first layer via the third and fourth members.
