    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes at least two stacked SOI levels or configurations, each of which may include transistor elements formed on the basis of a given technology node. At least the uppermost device level may include a back bias mechanism for providing superior controllability of the respective transistor elements. In some illustrative embodiments, at least two of the stacked SOI configurations may have implemented therein a back bias mechanism, wherein an appropriate contact regime is provided so as to connect to the respective conductive regions or layers below the corresponding buried insulating layers for each stacked device level. Consequently, increased lateral packing density may be accomplished on the basis of a given technology node.

    Abstract: In one aspect, the present disclosure provides a semiconductor device structure with a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate composed of an active layer, a substrate and a buried insulating layer which is positioned on an upper surface of the substrate and below a lower surface of the active layer. At least one gate electrode having a channel region below is positioned above an upper surface of the active layer and at least one vertical connection element extends between the upper surface of the substrate and an opposite lower surface of the substrate below the at least one gate electrode. The at least one vertical connection element serves for back-biasing FETs with back-bias contacts at the rear side of the wafer.
