<p>A fin-type device system and method is disclosed. In a particular embodiment, a method of fabricating a transistor is disclosed and includes forming a gate of a transistor within a substrate having a surface and forming a buried oxide (BOX) layer within the substrate and adjacent to the gate at a first BOX layer face. The method also includes forming a raised source-drain channel ("fin"), where at least a portion of the fin extends from the surface of the substrate, and where the fin has a first fin face adjacent a second BOX layer face of the BOX layer.</p>
