1. A Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) device anchor system, comprising:

  • a trace anchor bonded to a substrate;

    a device anchor bonded to the substrate;

    an anchor flexure configured to flexibly couple the trace anchor and the device anchor to substantially prevent transmission of a stress induced in the trace anchor from being transmitted to the device anchor; and

    a flexure coupled between the device anchor and a MEMS mechanism, wherein movement of the MEMS mechanism generates forces that are transmitted to the device anchor via the flexure, and wherein the forces are not substantially transmitted to the trace anchor via the anchor flexure.
