Abstract
A structure for electrically isolating semiconductor devices includes a semiconducting layer and a layer of aluminum oxide formed in a pattern over the semiconducting layer, where the pattern exposes a portion of the semiconducting layer. The structure further includes an electrical isolation region formed in the exposed portion of the semiconducting layer, where the isolation region does not substantially encroach a region beneath the layer of aluminum oxide.
