Semiconductor structure with active device and damaged region

1. A semiconductor structure comprising:

an active layer with an active device including a body region having a first portion, a second portion, a source region, and a drain region, with a gate region formed over the first portion of the body region, the active device formed by top side processing in and on a top side of a semiconductor on insulator wafer; and

a damaged region formed within the second portion of the body region offset from the source region, the drain region, and the first portion by bottom side processing at a bottom side of the semiconductor on insulator wafer subsequent to the top side processing, the damaged region including a bandgap changing element that was provided prior to formation of the damaged region, the damaged region having a structure sufficient to prevent a kink effect and self-latching in operation of the active device, damage to the damaged region being caused by implantation of an element that is not a donor or acceptor into the second portion, wherein the damage to the damaged region is not diminished subsequent to the implantation and the implantation of the damage region does not result in the element being implanted into other portions of the active layer.

2. The semiconductor structure of claim 1 , wherein: the damaged region includes ions implanted into the bottom side of the semiconductor on insulator wafer to cause damage to the bottom side of the semiconductor on insulator wafer.

3. The semiconductor structure of claim 1 , wherein: the damaged region is outside of a channel region of the active device.

4. The semiconductor structure of claim 1 , wherein:

the damaged region is outside of a P-N junction region of the active device.

5. The semiconductor structure of claim 1 , wherein:

a substrate layer and at least part of a buried insulator layer are removed from the semiconductor on insulator wafer before the damaged region is formed.

6. The semiconductor structure of claim 1 , further comprising: a handle wafer bonded to the top side of the semiconductor on insulator wafer.

7. The semiconductor structure of claim 1 , further comprising: a clamp region that spans the channel region, extends into a source region and a drain region of the active device, and has a lower and opposite type dopant concentration than both the source region and the drain region; and

a pair of matching silicide regions on opposite sides of the body region and in contact with the clamp region;

wherein the clamp region forms a pair of Schottky diode barriers with the pair of matching silicide regions; and

wherein the pair of Schottky diode barriers provide a constant sink for accumulated charge in the body region.
