ABSTRACT:
A method of forming a silicon-on-insulator substrate is disclosed, including providing a silicon substrate; depositing a first insulation layer over the silicon substrate; forming a conductive layer over the first insulation layer to a first structure; providing a second structure comprising a silicon device layer and a second insulation layer; bonding the first structure and the second structure together so that the conductive layer is located between the first and second insulation layers; and removing a portion of the silicon device layer thereby providing the silicon-on-insulator substrate having two discrete insulation layers. In one embodiment, the method further includes forming at least one conductive plug through the silicon substrate and the first insulation layer and/or the second insulation layer so as to contact the conductive layer. Methods of facilitating heat removal from the device layer are disclosed.
