Abstract: Disclosed is an integrated circuit having at least two active components, such as transistors, having the following features:a highly conductive substrate is provided which is connected to one pole of a voltage supply source,a semiconductor layer, which is electrically isolated from the substrate and divided into individual sections by lateral isolation regions, is disposed on a main surface of the substrate,placed in each section is at least one active component, e.g., a transistor of any type performance, andlateral deep diffusion regions which are accommodated in the semiconductor layer create a conductive connection between the highly conductive substrate and the corresponding regions of the active components.
