Method and structure for buried circuits and devices

摘要

A method is provided in which for fabricating a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) circuit on a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) substrate. A plurality of field effect transistors (FETs) are formed, each having a channel region disposed in a common device layer within a single-crystal semiconductor layer of an SOI substrate. A gate of the first FET overlies an upper surface of the common device layer, and a gate of the second FET underlies a lower surface of the common device layer remote from the upper surface. The first and second FETs share a common diffusion region disposed in the common device layer and are conductively interconnected by the common diffusion region. The common diffusion region is operable as at least one of a source region or a drain region of the first FET and is simultaneously operable as at least one of a source region or a drain region of the second FET.
