Abstract

A low harmonic radio-frequency (RF) switch in a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate and methods of manufacture. A method includes forming at least one trench through an insulator layer. The at least one trench is adjacent a device formed in an active region on the insulator layer. The method also includes forming at least one cavity in a substrate under the insulator layer and extending laterally from the at least one trench to underneath the device.
