Abstract

Methods of forming passive elements under a device layer are described. Those methods and structures may include forming at least one passive structure, such as a capacitor and a resistor structure, in a substrate, wherein the passive structures are vertically disposed within the substrate. An insulator layer is formed on a top surface of the passive structure, a device layer is formed on the insulator layer, and a contact is formed to couple a device disposed in the device layer to the at least one passive structure.
