A bimorph structure is produced by depositing a first material on a first surface of a first substrate to form a first element structure. A second material is deposited onto a surface of a second substrate to form a second element structure. Electrodes are deposited on a surface of each of the first element structure and the second element structure. The first element structure is bonded to a first transfer substrate, and the second element structure is bonded to a second transfer substrate. The first substrate is removed from the first element structure, and the second substrate is removed from the second element structure. Second side electrodes are deposited on a second surface of each of the first element structures and the second element structure. The first element structure and the second element structure are directly bonded to each other. One of the first transfer substrate and the second transfer substrate is then removed, and the surface of the element structure from which one of the transfer substrates has been removed is bonded to a final target substrate. Thereafter, the other transfer substrate is removed, and electrical connections are made.
