Abstract

A semiconductor device formed on an epitaxial substrate includes a high-resistance region in the vicinity of an interface between a doped semiconductor substrate and an epitaxial layer thereon. The high-resistance region is advantageously formed by an ion implantation process of a dopant opposite to a dopant contained in the doped semiconductor substrate such that there is formed a depletion of carriers in the vicinity of the foregoing interface.
