A MEMS device fabrication method includes providing a substrate and a chamber wall material layer on a first surface of the substrate, the chamber wall material layer including a chamber cavity having a sacrificial material located therein. A mask material is deposited on the chamber wall material layer and the sacrificial material and patterned to form a mask pattern including a plurality of discrete portions. The mask material and some of the sacrificial material are removed to transfer the mask pattern including the plurality of discrete portions to the sacrificial material. A membrane material layer is deposited on the chamber wall material layer and the sacrificial material that includes the transferred mask pattern including the plurality of discrete portions. Some of the substrate and the sacrificial material are removed to release the membrane material layer using at least one process initiated from a second surface of the substrate.
