Abstract

A silicon on insulator substrate is provided to include the following: a handle wafer; a layer of bonding material; a device wafer, the device wafer including at least one buried impurity region extending from the layer of bonding material upward into the device wafer; and an epitaxial silicon layer provided on a second surface of the device wafer. The silicon on insulator substrate with this configuration can be made with a minimal possible thickness.
