Abstract
By removing material during the formation of trench openings of isolation structures in an SOI device, the subsequent implantation process for defining the well region for a substrate diode may be performed on the basis of moderately low implantation energies, thereby increasing process uniformity and significantly reducing cycle time of the implantation process. Thus, enhanced reliability and stability of the substrate diode may be accomplished while also providing a high degree of compatibility with conventional manufacturing techniques.
