Original Abstract Submitted
An integrated circuit includes an SOI substrate having a semiconductor layer over a buried insulator layer. An electronic device has an NWELL region in the semiconductor layer, a dielectric over the NWELL region, and a polysilicon plate over the dielectric. A white space region adjacent the electronic device includes a first P-type region in the semiconductor layer and adjacent the surface. The P-type region has a first sheet resistance and the NWELL region has a second sheet resistance that is greater than the first sheet resistance.
