Etch stop member in buried insulator of SOI substrate to reduce contact edge punch through

A method forms a trench isolation opening extending into an SOI substrate, and forms an etch stop member in a portion of the insulator layer abutting a side of the trench isolation opening. The etch stop member has a higher etch selectivity than the insulator layer of the SOI substrate. A trench iso...

Zusammenfassung:A method forms a trench isolation opening extending into an SOI substrate, and forms an etch stop member in a portion of the insulator layer abutting a side of the trench isolation opening. The etch stop member has a higher etch selectivity than the insulator layer of the SOI substrate. A trench isolation is formed in the trench isolation opening. A contact is formed to a portion of the semiconductor layer of the SOI substrate. The etch stop member is structured to prevent contact punch through to the base substrate of the SOI substrate.
