Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A process for manufacturing a semiconductor wafer including SOI-insulation wells includes forming, in a die region of a semiconductor body, buried cavities and semiconductor structural elements, which traverse the buried cavities and are distributed in the die region. The process moreover includes the step of oxidizing selectively first adjacent semiconductor structural elements, arranged inside a closed region, and preventing oxidation of second semiconductor structural elements outside the closed region, so as to form a die buried dielectric layer selectively inside the closed region.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A semiconductor wafer comprising a semiconductor body including a die region; wherein the semiconductor wafer further comprises: a first epitaxial semiconductor region; a first buried dielectric layer occupying a portion of the die region extending underneath the first epitaxial semiconductor region, said first buried dielectric layer extending to completely surround peripheral side edges of the first epitaxial semiconductor region so as to insulate…
