Abstract
An integrated circuit fabricated on a semiconductor-on-insulator transferred layer is described. The integrated circuit includes an interconnect layer fabricated on the back side of the insulator. This interconnect layer connects active devices to each other through holes etched in the insulator. This structure provides extra layout flexibility and lower capacitance, thus enabling higher speed and lower cost integrated circuits.
