Channel-stopper
In
semiconductor device fabrication
,
channel-stopper
or
channel-stop
is an
area
in
semiconductor devices
produced
by
implantation
or
diffusion
of
ions
, by
growing
or
patterning
the
silicon oxide
, or other isolation
methods
in
semiconductor material
with the
primary
function to
limit
the
spread
of the
channel area
or to
