ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a a method of fabricating bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) on selected areas of a very thin buried oxide (BOX) using a conventional silicon-on-insulator (SOI) starting wafer with a thick BOX. The reduced BOX thickness underneath the bipolar devices allows for a significantly reduced substrate bias compatible with the CMOS to be applied while maintaining the advantages of a thick BOX underneath the CMOS.
