Selective Amorphization for Electrical Signal Isolation and Linearity in SOI Structures

Provided is a structure for improved electrical signal isolation between adjacent devices situated in a top semiconductor layer of the structure and a method for the structure's fabrication. The structure comprises a gate situated on the top semiconductor layer, the top semiconductor layer situated over a base oxide layer, and the base oxide layer situated over a handle wafer. The top surface of the handle wafer is amorphized by an inert implant of Xenon or Argon to reduce carrier mobility in the handle wafer and improve electrical signal isolation between the adjacent devices situated in the top semiconductor layer.
