Patent 7105426 was granted and assigned to United Microelectronics Corporation on September, 2006 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A semiconductor substrate is provided, and at least one first mask is formed above the semiconductor substrate. The first mask has a plurality of thicknesses and blocks at least one semi-insulating region. A second mask is thereafter formed on a surface of the semiconductor substrate. The second mask covers the semi-insulating region. The semi-insulating region is implanted with a high energy beam of particles by utilizing the second mask and the first mask as particle hindering masks. Finally, the second mask is removed.
