Abstract

A method of manufacture of an integrated circuit system includes: providing a second layer between a first layer and a third layer; forming an active device over the third layer; forming the third layer to form an island region underneath the active device; forming the second layer to form a floating second layer with an undercut beneath the island region; and depositing a fourth layer around the island region and the floating second layer.

Claims (24)

1. An integrated circuit system comprising:

a substrate including a first layer;

a floating second layer with an undercut over the first layer;

an island region over the floating second layer;

an active device over the island region; and

a fourth layer around the island region and the floating second layer.

2. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein:

the first layer and the island region include a semiconducting material.

3. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein:

the first layer and the island region include a silicon material.

4. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein:

the island region is on the floating second layer.

5. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein:

the fourth layer includes an epitaxial material.

6. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein:

the floating second layer includes an insulating material.

7. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein:

the active device includes an MEET device, a PITT device, or a CMOS device.

8. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein:

the fourth layer includes silicon-germanium or silicon.

9. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein:

the floating second layer is on the first layer.

10. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein:

the floating second layer alters self-heating of the active device.
