Abstract

A method of making a gettering structure for dielectrically isolated wafer structures, such as bonded wafers. A getterer layer is deposited over the wafer having semiconductor regions isolated from each other by trenches. The polysilicon is etched back leaving the polysilicon on the sides of the regions. The polysilicon may be doped. The polysilicon is oxidized and a second layer of polysilicon may be deposited to fill voids in the trenches.
