Abstract

A method includes growing a first oxide region concurrently with a second oxide region in a substrate and forming an inlet path to the first oxide region, the inlet path exposing a first surface of the first oxide region. The method also includes removing the first oxide region to form a chamber, forming a first MOS transistor adjacent the second oxide region, and forming a second MOS transistor separated from the first MOS transistor by the second oxide region.
