Patent ID: 8193645

Claim:
A device comprising: a first device structure comprising a semiconductor platform; a second device structure comprising a microstructure spaced from the semiconductor platform; and a cable having a plurality of beams arranged in parallel with one another and extending along a direction to couple the microstructure to the first device structure, the direction extending from the microstructure to the first device structure, wherein each beam of the plurality of beams has a polymer coating, wherein each of the plurality of beams has at least one straight region that extends along the direction, wherein each of the plurality of beams has at least one serpentine-shaped region, wherein for each serpentine-shaped region of the plurality of beams, a beginning of the serpentine-shaped region and an end of the serpentine-shaped region are aligned with one another in the direction extending from the microstructure to the first device structure, wherein the straight regions of the plurality of beams are arranged in parallel, and wherein the serpentine-shaped regions of the plurality of beams are arranged in parallel.
