Abstract
Structures useful for dielectrically isolated high voltage devices are produced utilizing a melting technique. In this technique a cavity is produced in a silicon wafer, the surface of the cavity is, for example, oxidized to form a dielectric material, and silicon is deposited onto the dielectric material so that it extends to a region where it is in contact with single crystal silicon, e.g., a portion of the wafer. The entire region of polycrystalline silicon is then melted. Upon termination of the melting energy, the polycrystalline silicon is converted into a thick region of dielectrically isolated single crystal silicon. This thick region is useful for the formation of high voltage devices.
