Abstract: A micro or nano electromechanical transducer device formed on a semiconductor substrate comprises a movable structure which is arranged to be movable in response to actuation of an actuating structure. The movable structure comprises a mechanical structure comprising at least one mechanical layer having a first thermal response characteristic and a first mechanical stress response characteristic, at least one layer of the actuating structure, the at least one layer having a second thermal response characteristic different to the first thermal response characteristic and a second mechanical stress response characteristic different to the first mechanical stress response characteristic, a first compensation layer having a third thermal response characteristic and a third mechanical stress characteristic, and a second compensation layer having a fourth thermal response characteristic and a fourth mechanical stress response characteristic.
