    Abstract

    A microelectromechanical (MEMS) Fabry-Perot interferometer includes a transparent substrate; a first metallic mirror structure on the transparent substrate, including a first metal layer and a first support layer; a second metallic mirror structure above the first metallic mirror structure on an opposite side of the first metallic mirror structure in view of the transparent substrate, the second metallic mirror structure including a second metal layer and a second support layer, wherein the first and the second support layer are parallel and including at least one of aluminum oxide or titanium dioxide; a Fabry-Perot cavity between the first and the second support layer, whereby the Fabry-Perot cavity is formed by providing an insulation layer on the first mirror structure, and at least partially removing the insulation layer after providing the second mirror structure; and electrodes for providing electrical contacts to the first and the second metal layer.
