    Abstract: One illustrative IC product disclosed herein includes an (SOI) substrate comprising a base semiconductor layer, a buried insulation layer and an active semiconductor layer positioned above the buried insulation layer. In this particular example, the IC product also includes a first region of localized high resistivity formed in the base semiconductor layer, wherein the first region of localized high resistivity has an electrical resistivity that is greater than an electrical resistivity of the material of the base semiconductor layer. The IC product also includes a first region comprising integrated circuits formed above the active semiconductor layer, wherein the first region comprising integrated circuits is positioned vertically above the first region of localized high resistivity in the base semiconductor layer.

    Abstract: A gate cut isolation including an air gap and an IC including the same are disclosed. A method of forming the gate cut isolation may include forming an opening in a dummy gate that extends over a plurality of spaced active regions, the opening positioned between and spaced from a pair of active regions. The opening is filled with a fill material, and the dummy gate is removed. A metal gate is formed in a space vacated by the dummy gate on each side of the fill material, and the fill material is removed to form a preliminary gate cut opening. A liner is deposited in the preliminary gate cut opening, creating a gate cut isolation opening, which is then sealed by depositing a sealing layer. The sealing layer closes an upper end of the gate cut isolation opening and forms the gate cut isolation including an air gap.
