Abstract
In a bulk silicon process, an insulating layer is placed under the portion of the source and drain used for contacts, thereby reducing junction capacitance. The processing involves a smaller than usual transistor area that is not large enough to hold the contacts, which are placed in an aperture cut into the shallow trench isolation.
