Effective body contact in SOI devices by partial trench isolated body-tied (PTIBT) structure

The floating body effect can be reduced by forcing a fixed potential to the SOI device body region using any of several body-tied structures but all generally suffer from adverse costs such as performance degradation and/or process complexity. In this work, we propose a novel body-tied structure, adding simple partial trench isolation, which effectively suppresses the floating body effects without performance degradation
