Abstract: The method comprises the steps of: on a wafer (1) of monocrystalline semiconductor material, forming a hard mask (9) of an oxidation-resistant material, defining first protective regions (7) covering first portions (21) of the wafer (1); excavating the second portions (8'') of the wafer (1), forming initial trenches (10) extending between the first portions (8') of the wafer (1); thermally oxidating the wafer (1), forming a sacrificial oxide layer (14) extending at the lateral and base walls (10a, 10b) of the initial trenches (10), below the first protective regions (7); and wet etching the wafer (1), to completely remove the sacrificial oxide layer (14). Thereby, intermediate trenches (10') are formed, the lateral walls (10a') of which are recessed with respect to the first protective regions (7). Subsequently, a second oxide layer 11 is formed inside the intermediate trenches 10'; a second silicon nitride layer 12 is deposited; final trenches 16 are produced; a buried oxide region 22 is formed, and finally an epitaxial layer 23 is grown.

Abstract: The process comprises the steps of forming, on a monocrystalline-silicon body (11), an etching-aid region (13) of polycrystalline silicon; forming, on the etching-aid region (13), a nucleus region (17) of polycrystalline silicon, surrounded by a protective structure (26) having an opening (22') extending as far as the etching-aid region (13); TMAH-etching the etching-aid region (13) and the monocrystalline body (11), forming a tub shaped cavity (30); removing the top layer (19) of the protective structure (26); and growing an epitaxial layer (33) on the monocrystalline body (11) and the nucleus region (17). The epitaxial layer, of monocrystalline type (33a) on the monocrystalline body (11) and of polycrystalline type (33b) on the nucleus region (17), closes upwardly the etching opening (22'), and the cavity (30) is thus completely embedded in the resulting wafer (34).

Abstract: The pressure sensor is integrated in a SOI (Silicon-on-Insulator) substrate using the insulating layer as a sacrificial layer, which is partly removed by chemical etching to form the diaphragm. To fabricate the sensor, after forming the piezoresistive elements (10) and the electronic components (4, 6-8) integrated in the same chip, trenches (26) are formed in the upper wafer (23) of the substrate and extending from the surface to the layer of insulating material (22); the layer of insulating material (22) is chemically etched through the trenches (26) to form an opening (31) beneath the diaphragm (27); and a dielectric layer (25) is deposited to outwardly close the trenches (26) and the opening (31). Thus, the process is greatly simplified, and numerous packaging problems eliminated.

Abstract: A low-noise transistor comprising a cutoff region (38; 47) laterally surrounding the emitter region (36; 45) in the surface portion of the transistor and of such conductivity as to practically turn off the surface portion of the transistor, so that the transistor operates mainly in the bulk portion. In the NPN transistor, the cutoff region is formed by a P ring (38) in a P type well region (35), and, in the PNP transistor, by the N type enriched base region (47) between the emitter region (45) and the collector region (49).
