Abstract

Abstract A SOI device, comprising: a SOI wafer having a stack structure of a silicon substrate, a buried oxide layer having a first and a second contact holes and a silicon layer; an isolation layer formed in the silicon layer to define a device formation region; a transistor including a gate formed over the device formation region of the silicon layer defined by the isolation layer, source and drain regions formed at the both side of the gate in the device formation region, and a channel region which is a portion of the device formation region between the source and drain region; a conduction layer being contacted with the buried oxide layer; an impurity region for well pick-up formed in the silicon layer to be contacted with the buried oxide layer; a first contact layer formed within the first contact hole of the buried oxide layer to electrically connect the channel region of the transistor and the conduction layer; and a second contact layer formed with the second contact hole of the buried oxide layer to electrically connect the impurity region for well pick-up and the conduction layer.
