  • Abstract
    A dielectric isolation technology is described that is suitable for use in integrated circuits and particularly for latch-up suppression in CMOS. The silicon islands maintain the original crystal surface and no damaging implants are involved. The technique uses anisotropic and orientation-dependent etching followed by planarisation.
