Abstract
Methods are presented for fabrication of alignment features of a desired depth, and shallow trench isolation (STI) features in Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) material. Specific embodiments require no more than two lithography and etch processes, which represents an improvement over current methodology requiring three lithography and etch processes in order to produce the desired features during manufacture of a semiconductor device.
