International ClassH01L 021/265AbstractA silicon on insulator circuit having transistors formed in isolated mesas initially doped P-- has the mesas for N-channel transistors counterdoped to a N-- concentration, after which a field insulating layer is put down over an outer portion of the N-channel mesas and N-channel transistors with N+ sources and drains are formed, so that the N+ areas are adjacent the counterdoped N-- areas, thereby eliminating P-N junction found in prior art devices. | |
