1. A micro-mirror device, comprising:

  • a substructure;

    conductive material patterned on the substructure;

    a hinge element supported over the substructure and communicated with the conductive material;

    a reflective element supported over the hinge element; and

    a support extended between the hinge element and the reflective element,wherein the support includes a protective material forming a cavity open to the reflective element and a plug material filling the cavity, wherein a surface of the protective material and a surface of the plug material form a substantially planar surface, wherein the reflective element is formed over the substantially planar surface, and contacts the protective material and the plug material, and wherein the plug material is enclosed by the reflective element and the protective material.
