Claim:
1. A method for fabricating an electromechanical device comprising: depositing a first layer of etchable material on a substrate; depositing at least one layer of graphene on the etchable material; depositing a first electrode on the etchable material such that at least a first portion of the at least one layer of graphene is covered by the first electrode and at least a portion of the first electrode is directly in contact with the etchable material; depositing a second electrode on the etchable material such that at least a second portion of the at least one layer of graphene is covered by the second electrode and at least a portion of the second electrode is directly in contact with the etchable material; and exposing the etchable material to an etchant to remove the etchable material around the first and second electrodes and underneath the at least one layer of graphene, thereby fabricating a device having the at least one layer of graphene suspended above the substrate.
