Abstract

A process of forming an electronic device can include forming an insulating layer over first and second active regions, and a field isolation region. The process can also include forming a seed layer and exposing the first active region. The process can further include selectively forming a first and second semiconductor layer over the first active region and the seed layer, respectively. The first and second semiconductor layers can be spaced-apart from each other. In one aspect, the process can include selectively forming the first and second semiconductor layers simultaneously at a substantially same point in time. In another aspect, an electronic device can include first and second transistor structures separated by a field isolation region and electrically connected by a conductive member. A semiconductor island, designed to be electrically floating, can lie between the conductive member and the base layer.
