  • Patent number: 5552335
    Abstract: A process for fabricating an acoustic charge transport (ACT) integrated circuit, comprises the steps of providing a semi-insulating wafer; providing an epitaxial layer with a thickness and carrier concentration appropriate for an ACT device on the semi-insulating wafer; providing at least one circuit element semiconductor layer on the surface of the epitaxial layer for construction of an integrated circuit element, the at least one semiconductor layer having a thickness substantially less than the thickness of the ACT epitaxial layer and having a carrier concentration substantially greater than the ACT epitaxial layer; removing lateral conductivity of the entire ACT epitaxial layer except in the regions associated with the at least one circuit element semiconductor layer and the ACT device in order to achieve lateral electrical isolation between the circuit element semiconductor layer and the ACT device; providing ohmic contacts on the at least one layer and on the ACT device; providing a first metal layer on
