A process of forming an electronic device can include patterning a
semiconductor layer to define an opening. After patterning the
semiconductor layer, the opening can have a bottom, and the semiconductor
layer can have a sidewall and a surface. The surface is spaced apart from
the bottom of the opening. The sidewall can extend from the surface
towards the bottom of the opening. The process can also include forming a
layer over the semiconductor layer and within the opening, and removing a
part of the first layer from within the opening. After removing the part
of the layer, a remaining portion of the layer may lie within the opening
and adjacent to the bottom and the sidewall, and the remaining portion of
the layer may be spaced apart from the surface. In another aspect, the
electronic device can include a field isolation region including the
first layer.
