A system includes a semiconductor substrate having a first cavity. The semiconductor substrate forms a pedestal adjacent the first cavity. A device overlays the pedestal and is bonded to the semiconductor substrate by metal within the first cavity. A plurality of second cavities are formed in a surface of the pedestal beneath the device, wherein the second cavities are smaller than the first cavity. In some of these teachings, the second cavities are voids. In some of these teachings, the metal in the first cavity comprises a eutectic mixture. The structure relates to a method of manufacturing in which a layer providing a mask to etch the first cavity is segmented to enable easy removal of the mask-providing layer from the area over the pedestal.
