Abstract

A getterer structure for dielectrically isolated wafer structures such as bonded wafers. The getterer is a layer of polysilicon along the sidewalls of semiconductor regions isolated from each other by trenches. The polysilicon may be doped. The polysilicon is oxidized and polysilicon deposited to fill voids in the trenches.
