Method to fabricate both FD-SOI and PD-SOI devices within a single integrated circuit

摘要

Methods for fabricating both PD-SOI devices and FD-SOI devices on the same semiconductor substrate are provided. The methods begin with a SOI wafer having a top silicon layer with a thickness appropriate for the fabrication of PD-SOI devices. During the fabrication process, portions of the top silicon layer, to be used for the fabrication of FD-SOI devices, are selectively thinned, so that a portion of the wafer has a top silicon thickness appropriate for FD-SOI devices. FD-SOI devices (e.g., RF switch transistors) are fabricated in the thinned portions of the top silicon layer, and PD-SOI devices (e.g., control transistors for the RF switch transistors) are fabricated in the non-thinned portions of the top silicon layer. Thus, both PD-SOI and FD-SOI devices can be combined within the same integrated circuit.
