However, high tensile stress causes distortion of the original shapes by contracting, buckling, and bending the suspended structures. We demonstrate a method to compensate for the shape deformation of suspended structures due to intrinsic tensile stress after they are released. With a new design, the distance between two suspended structures after wet etch can easily be tuned by a single fabrication beyond the lithographic resolution limits. The technique is simulated by finite element analysis and experimentally implemented to demonstrate a gap tuning capability with 2.4 nm standard error.
