Abstract
A silicon-on-insulator metallic oxide semiconductor structure having a double implanted source region. By etching a trench contact window in the double implanted source region and then depositing a metal into the trench to form a metal plug, contact between the source terminal and the substrate is established. Consequently, floating body effect of a silicon-on-insulator device is prevented without having to provide additional surface area to accommodate the contact window.
