ABSTRACT:
A method of element isolation includes implanting ions in a compound semiconductor substrate at the periphery of a semiconductor device in the substrate to produce a first insulating region having a region of maximum implanted ion concentration within a buffer layer at the deepest of multiple epitaxially grown layers. Even when there is a redistribution of implanted ions due to thermal processing, the implanted ions diffuse so that the concentration of ions becomes uniform in the depth direction and a thermally stable ion implantation concentration distribution as well as stable device characteristics are obtained. A second insulating region having a resistivity different from that of the first insulating region may be produced in a second ion implantation step, relaxing an electric field at the interface between the insulating region and a gate electrode, securing a stable, high gate junction breakdown voltage. Thus, a highly reliable element isolating technique and a highly reliable device are obtained.
