releasing cantilever beams without release holes

Hello Nahid,

I released cantilever and bridge structures of Al-Si3N4 from the silicon
substrate by isotropic plasma etch. There were no etch holes in those
structures. However, I experienced large undercut on the structures which
was fine for my application. Can you provide more information what exactly
you are looking for? What materials you are processing?

Regards,
Prasanna
