Abstract
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming trench isolation structures, exposing some of the trench isolation structures 28 to leave others 30 masked, and then selectively etching a buried layer to form a cavity 32 under an active device region 34. The active device region 34 is supported by support regions in the exposed trenches 28. The buried layer may be a SiGe layer on a Si substrate.
