A fully depleted semiconductor-on-insulator (FDSOI) transistor structure includes a back gate electrode having a limited thickness and aligned to a front gate electrode. The back gate electrode is formed in a first substrate by ion implantation of dopants through a first oxide cap layer. Global alignment markers are formed in the first substrate to enable alignment of the front gate electrode to the back gate electrode. The global alignment markers enable preparation of a virtually flat substrate on the first substrate so that the first substrate can be bonded to a second substrate in a reliable manner.

Source and drain extension regions and source side halo region and drain side halo region are formed in a top semiconductor layer aligned with a gate stack on an SOI substrate. A deep source region and a deep drain region are formed asymmetrically in the top semiconductor layer by an angled ion implantation. The deep source region is offset away from one of the outer edges of the at least spacer to expose the source extension region on the surface of the semiconductor substrate. A source metal semiconductor alloy is formed by reacting a metal layer with portions of the deep source region, the source extension region, and the source side halo region. The source metal semiconductor alloy abuts the remaining portion of the source side halo region, providing a body contact tied to the deep source region to the partially depleted SOI MOSFET.

A method of patterning a semiconductor film is described. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a hard mask material is formed on a silicon film having a global crystal orientation wherein the semiconductor film has a first crystal plane and second crystal plane, wherein the first crystal plane is denser than the second crystal plane and wherein the hard mask is formed on the second crystal plane. Next, the hard mask and semiconductor film are patterned into a hard mask covered semiconductor structure. The hard mask covered semiconductor structured is then exposed to a wet etch process which has sufficient chemical strength to etch the second crystal plane but insufficient chemical strength to etch the first crystal plane.
