Abstract

A process for isolating a semiconductor device formed in a p-type silicon substrate includes implanting a layer of oxygen ions below the device. The substrate is then heated to 430.degree.-470.degree. C. to activate the silicon/oxygen complexes thus formed and compensate or overcompensate the region thus forming an intrinsic or n-type isolating layer. The technique may be employed for the isolation of DMOS structures.
