Abstract
In a silicon on insulator technology, cooling channels in a support substrate are located substantially under the junction regions of selected individual active devices in a semiconductor layer, where the junction regions are separated from the substrate by an insulating layer. In a second embodiment, thermal conductors in a support substrate are located substantially under the junction regions of selected individual active devices in a semiconductor layer where the junction regions are separated from the substrate by an insulating layer. Optionally, either the cooling channels or the thermal conductors may be enlarged such that a plurality of devices may be cooled by a single cooling channel or thermal conductor.
