    Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) structure, a switch and related method, are disclosed. The IC structure includes an active device, e.g., a switch, over a bulk semiconductor substrate, and an isolation structure under the active device in the bulk semiconductor substrate. The isolation structure may include a trench isolation adjacent the active device in the bulk semiconductor substrate, a dielectric layer laterally adjacent the trench isolation and over the active device, and a porous semiconductor layer in the bulk semiconductor substrate under the dielectric layer laterally adjacent the trench isolation. The IC structure employs a lower cost, low resistivity bulk semiconductor substrate rather than a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) substrate, yet it has better performance characteristics for RF switches than an SOI substrate.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to semiconductor structures and, more particularly, to a metal-free fuse structure and methods of manufacture. The structure includes: a first metal-free fuse structure comprising a top semiconductor material of semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) technologies, the top semiconductor material including end portions with a first electrical resistance and a fuse portion of a second, higher electrical resistance electrically connected to the end portions; and a second metal-free fuse structure comprising the top semiconductor material of semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) technologies, the top semiconductor material of the second metal-free fuse structure including at least a fuse portion of a lower electrical resistance than the second, higher electrical resistance.
