Abstract
A semiconductor device includes an active region formed in a semiconductor substrate, a gate structure disposed over the active region, source/drain regions formed in the active region in alignment with the gate structure, and a buried insulating material region disposed in the active region under the gate structure. The buried insulating material region is surrounded by the active region and borders a channel region in the active region below the gate structure along a depth of the active region. The source/drain regions have a depth greater than a top surface of the buried insulating material region.
