Abstract: A semiconductor structure is provided. The semiconductor structure comprises a heat generating device arranged over a substrate. An interlayer dielectric (ILD) material may be arranged over the heat generating device and the substrate. A metallization layer may be arranged over the interlayer dielectric material. A thermal shunt structure may be arranged proximal the heat generating device, whereby an upper portion of the thermal shunt structure may be arranged in the interlayer dielectric material and may be lower than the metallization layer, and a lower portion of the thermal shunt structure may be arranged in the substrate.

Abstract: Disclosed are semiconductor structure embodiments of a semiconductor-on-insulator region on a bulk substrate. The semiconductor-on-insulator region includes an upper semiconductor layer above and physically separated from the substrate by insulator-containing cavities (e.g., by dielectric layer and/or a pocket of trapped air, of trapped gas, or under vacuum) and, optionally, by a lower semiconductor layer. Disclosed method embodiments include forming openings that extend vertically through the upper semiconductor layer, through a sacrificial semiconductor layer and, optionally, through a lower semiconductor layer to the substrate. Then, a selective isotropic etch process is performed to form cavities, which extend laterally off the sides of the openings into the sacrificial semiconductor layer. Depending upon the embodiments, different process steps are further performed to form plugs in at least the upper portions of the openings and insulators (including dielectric layers and/or a pocket of trapped air, of trapped gas or under vacuum) in the cavities.

Abstract: Methods of forming structures with electrical isolation. A dielectric layer is formed over a semiconductor substrate, openings are patterned in the dielectric layer that extend to the semiconductor substrate, and a semiconductor material is epitaxially grown from portions of the semiconductor substrate that are respectively exposed inside the openings. The semiconductor material, during growth, defines a semiconductor layer that includes first portions respectively coincident with the openings and second portions that laterally grow from the first portions to merge over a top surface of the dielectric layer. A modified layer containing a trap-rich semiconductor material is formed in the semiconductor substrate.
