METHOD OF SELECTIVE OXYGEN IMPLANTATION TO DIELECTRICALLLY ISOLATE SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES USING NO EXTRA MASKS

摘要

A method of fabricating integrated circuit structures utilizes selective oxygen implantation to dielectrically isolate semiconductor structures using no extra masks. Existing masks are utilized to introduce oxygen into bulk silicon with subsequent thermal oxide growth. Since the method uses bulk silicon, it is cheaper than silicon-on-insulator (SOI) techniques. It also results in bulk silicon that is latch-up immune.
