ABSTRACT:
A method for electrically isolating an integrated circuit element in an acoustic charge transport device comprises the steps of providing a semi-insulating substrate; providing an epitaxial layer with a thickness and carrier concentration appropriate for an ACT device; providing a circuit element semiconductor layer in the epitaxial layer for construction of an integrated circuit element, the layer having a thickness substantially less than the thickness of the epitaxial layer and having a carrier concentration substantially greater than the ACT epitaxial layer; laterally isolating the semiconductor layer from other regions of the ACT epitaxial layer; and bombarding the semiconductor layer with protons at a dose sufficient to provide significant vertical electrical isolation from underlying regions of the epitaxial layer semi-insulating with minimal detrimental effect on the electrical characteristics of the semiconductor layer.
