US Patent 9755029 Switch device performance improvement through multisided biased shielding

An integrated radio frequency (RF) circuit structure may include an active device on a first surface of an isolation layer. The integrated RF circuit structure may also include backside metallization on a second surface opposite the first surface of the isolation layer. A body of the active device is biased by the backside metallization. The integrated RF circuit structure may further include front-side metallization coupled to the backside metallization with a via. The front-side metallization is arranged distal from the backside metallization. The front-side metallization, the via, and the backside metallization may at least partially enclose the active device.
