1. An electromechanical device package, comprising:
- a substrate;
a plurality of anchor regions disposed on the substrate, wherein the anchor regions include raised spacers;
a plurality of electromechanical devices formed on the substrate, wherein the electromechanical devices are formed over the raised spacers and anchored to the substrate at the anchor regions; and
a backplate sealed to the substrate to form a package, wherein the highest points of the electromechanical devices above the substrate are above the raised spacers.

Abstract
This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for forming spacers on a substrate and building an electromechanical device over the spacers and the substrate. In one aspect, a raised anchor area is formed over the spacer by adding layers that result in a high point above the substrate. The high point can protect the movable sections of the MEMS device from contact with a backplate.
