Abstract
Various methods of forming integrated circuits formed using gallium nitride and other materials are described. An example method includes forming a first integrated device over a first semiconductor structure in a first region of the integrated circuit, forming a second integrated device over a second semiconductor structure in a second region of the integrated circuit, etching a cavity in a third region of the of the integrated circuit located between the first region and the second region, filling the cavity with an insulating material, and forming a passive component over the insulating material in the third region of the integrated circuit. In other aspects, the method can include grinding a back side of a semiconductor substrate of the integrated circuit to electrically isolate the first semiconductor structure from the second semiconductor structure and, after the grinding, forming a ground plane over the back side of the semiconductor substrate.
