    Abstract: A thermal path is formed in a layer transferred semiconductor structure. The layer transferred semiconductor structure has a semiconductor wafer and a handle wafer bonded to a top side of the semiconductor wafer. The semiconductor wafer has an active device layer formed therein. The thermal path is in contact with the active device layer within the semiconductor wafer. In some embodiments, the thermal path extends from the active device layer to a substrate layer of the handle wafer. In some embodiments, the thermal path extends from the active device layer to a back side external thermal contact below the active device layer.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for use in improving the gate oxide reliability of semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) metal-oxide-silicon field effect transistor (MOSFET) devices using accumulated charge control (ACC) techniques. The method and apparatus are adapted to remove, reduce, or otherwise control accumulated charge in SOI MOSFETs, thereby yielding improvements in FET performance characteristics. In one embodiment, a circuit comprises a MOSFET, operating in an accumulated charge regime, and means for controlling the accumulated charge, operatively coupled to the SOI MOSFET. A first determination is made of the effects of an uncontrolled accumulated charge on time dependent dielectric breakdown (TDDB) of the gate oxide of the SOI MOSFET. A second determination is made of the effects of a controlled accumulated charge on TDDB of the gate oxide of the SOI MOSFET. The SOI MOSFET is adapted to have a selected average time-to-breakdown, responsive to the first and second determinations, and the circuit is operated using techniques for accumulated charge control operatively coupled to the SOI MOSFET. In one embodiment, the accumulated charge control techniques include using an accumulated charge sink operatively coupled to the SOI MOSFET body.
