Abstract:
Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) structures, methods of manufacture and design structures are disclosed. The method includes forming a Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) beam structure by venting both tungsten material and silicon material above and below the MEMS beam to form an upper cavity above the MEMS beam and a lower cavity structure below the MEMS beam.

Claim (Index 1):
A method comprising:\n forming a Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) beam structure comprising:\n forming a sacrificial material, which is comprised of both tungsten material and semiconductor material, on a substrate; \n forming the MEMS beam structure above the tungsten material and the semiconductor material; \n forming both the tungsten material and the semiconductor material above the MEMS beam structure; \n forming a lid over the tungsten material formed above the MEMS beam structure; \n etching the semiconductor material formed above the MEMS beam structure while etching the tungsten material formed above the MEMS beam structure to form an upper cavity structure above the MEMS beam structure and below the lid; and \n etching both the tungsten material and the semiconductor material below the MEMS beam structure to form a lower cavity structure above the substrate and below the MEMS beam structure, \n wherein the etching comprises performing an XeF 2  etching process.
