Abstract
Integrated circuits with lateral bipolar transistors and methods for fabricating the same are provided. An exemplary integrated circuit includes a semiconductor layer overlying an insulator layer. The semiconductor layer includes a first region having a first thickness and a trench region having a second thickness less than the first thickness. The integrated circuit further includes an isolation region formed over the trench region of the semiconductor layer. Also, the integrated circuit includes a lateral bipolar transistor including a base formed in the trench region of the semiconductor layer, an emitter, and a collector.
