A partially-depleted Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) substrate with minimal charge build up and suppressed floating body effect is disclosed, as well as a simple method for its fabrication. A thin Si/Ge epitaxial layer is grown between two adjacent epitaxial silicon layers of a SOI substrate, and as part of the silicon epitaxial growth. The thin Si/Ge epitaxial layer introduces misfit dislocations at the interface between the thin Si/Ge epitaxial layer and the adjacent epitaxial silicon layers, which removes undesired charge build up within the substrate.
