Abstract

Negatively sloped isolation structures are formed on a semiconductor substrate to isolate devices from one another. The negatively sloped isolation structures have a top critical dimension which is smaller than a bottom critical dimension. The negatively sloped isolation structures may penetrate through an insulator layer of a silicon-on-insulator structure arrangement.
