Claim:
An integrated circuit device, comprising: a first substrate bonded to a second substrate; a plurality of deep trench decoupling capacitors formed within the first substrate, the deep trench decoupling capacitors further comprising a doped region implanted within the first substrate so as to form a lower capacitor electrode, deep trenches filled with both a node dielectric material and a conductive fill material over the node dielectric material, the conductive fill material defining an upper capacitor electrode, wherein a top surface of the upper capacitor electrode is substantially coplanar with a top surface of the lower capacitor electrode, and wherein the deep trench coupling capacitors have a depth with respect to a top surface of the first substrate that is greater than a width with respect to the top surface of the first substrate; a plurality of active circuit devices formed on the second substrate; electrical connections between the deep trench decoupling capacitors and the second substrate; an interlevel dielectric layer formed over the deep trench decoupling capacitors of the first substrate, the interlevel dielectric layer disposed below a location where the first substrate is bonded to the second substrate, and a plurality of vias within the interlevel dielectric layer, the vias providing electrical access to the upper electrodes and common lower electrode of the deep trench capacitors; wherein the second substrate comprises a lower buried oxide layer and a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) layer formed on the buried oxide layer, with the active circuit devices formed on the SOI layer; isolation regions formed in the SOI layer of the second substrate to electrically isolate portions of the active device circuitry from one another; and additional vias defined through, and in direct contact with the isolation regions to provide electrical coupling between the active devices formed on the SOI layer of the second substrate and the deep trench decoupling capacitors formed in the first substrate.
