A method for fabricating a backside contact using a silicon-on-insulator substrate that includes a device layer, a buried insulator layer, and a handle wafer. The method includes forming an electrically-conducting connection in a trench. The handle wafer is removed. After the handle wafer is removed, the buried insulator layer is partially removed to expose the electrically-conducting connection. After the buried insulator layer is partially removed, a final substrate is connected to the buried insulator layer such that the electrically-conducting connection contacts the final substrate. |
