Abstract: Embodiments of an integrated circuit (IC) device are disclosed. The IC device includes a semiconductor substrate (e.g., a silicon substrate), a buried oxide (BOX) layer formed over the semiconductor substrate and a semiconductor layer formed over the BOX layer. Active semiconductor components are formed using active sections (e.g. drains and sources of field effect transistors (FETs).
