Abstract
A method for isolating regions of silicon involving the formation of openings that have a suitable taper in a block of silicon, thermally oxidizing the surfaces of the openings, and filling the openings with a dielectric material to isolate regions of silicon within the silicon block. The method is particularly useful wherein the openings are made through a region of silicon having a layer of a high doping conductivity.
