Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a method for forming an integrated chip (IC). The method includes forming a first fin of semiconductor material and a second fin of semiconductor material within a semiconductor substrate. A gate structure is formed over the first fin and source/drain regions are formed on or within the first fin. The source/drain regions are formed on opposite sides of the gate structure. One or more pick-up regions are formed on or within the second fin. The source/drain regions respectively have a first width measured along a first direction parallel to a long axis of the first fin and the one or more pick-up regions respectively have a second width measured along the first direction. The second width is larger than the first width.

Abstract: A layer stack including a first bonding dielectric material layer, a dielectric metal oxide layer, and a second bonding dielectric material layer is formed over a top surface of a substrate including a substrate semiconductor layer. A conductive material layer is formed by depositing a conductive material over the second bonding dielectric material layer. The substrate semiconductor layer is thinned by removing portions of the substrate semiconductor layer that are distal from the layer stack, whereby a remaining portion of the substrate semiconductor layer includes a top semiconductor layer. A semiconductor device may be formed on the top semiconductor layer.
