    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and circuit configuration effective for reducing plasma-induced charging damage on a device fabricated on a silicon-on- insulator(SOI) substrate. SOLUTION: An SOI circuit configuration effective for minimizing plasma- induced charging damage during fabrication comprises formation of charge collectors connected to the gate electrode and a semiconductor body, wherein each of the charge collectors has the same or substantially the same shape and dimension. The formation of a connecting structure between a device formed on the SOI substrate and the substrate is delayed until the later stages of processing.
