The invention provides a microfabrication process which may be used to manufacture a MEMS device. In one embodiment, the process comprises depositing at least one first layer on a substrate. The process further comprises patterning said first layer to define at least a first portion of said microelectromechanical system device. The process further comprises depositing a second layer on said first layer. The process further comprises patterning said second layer using said first layer as a photomask. The process further comprises developing said second layer to define at least a second portion of the microelectromechanical system device.
