Abstract

A MOS type field effect transistor including a portion of silicon layer (114) forming an active region (114a) placed between a grid oxide layer (120) and a buried oxide layer (112), and laterally delimited by lateral oxide insulation blocks (116). The portion of the silicon layer (114) has concave edges (122, 124) facing the lateral oxide insulation blocks (116). The transistor is applicable to the manufacture of integrated circuits with low electricity consumption.
