Abstract
Abstract Single crystalline dielectrically isolated islands are formed providing an opening in the bottom dielectric isolation of selected islands before the application of the polycrystalline support. Thin film resistor material is formed and delineated on an insulative layer over the signal crystalline island juxtaposed with the opening of the bottom dielectric isolation. The thin film resistive layer is trimmed using a laser.
