Abstract
A method of producing a microelectronic device in a substrate including a first semiconductor layer, a dielectric layer and a second monocrystalline semiconductor layer, the method including: etching a trench through the first semiconductor layer and the dielectric layer, and such that the trench delimits one active region of the microelectronic device; chemical vapor etching the second semiconductor layer, at a level of a bottom wall of the trench, according to at least two crystalline planes of the second semiconductor layer such that an etched part of the second semiconductor layer extends under a part of the active region; filling the trench and the etched part of the second semiconductor layer with a dielectric material.
