stress in polisilicon fixed-fixed beams

For beams with ultra small width, the beam will bend laterally as i observed in
my
experiment. I have the SEM photo of this phenomenon and if you need, I can send
it
to you.

width
very large in comparison to thickness, we expect beam to bend verticaly up/down.

laterally?
