          Application No. 09/316,580                                                   

               (d) a device silicon layer overlying said first                         
          dielectric layer, said device silicon layer having an upper                  
          surface;                                                                     
               (e) a second dielectric layer on said handle die                        
          underlying the opposite side of said silicide layer; and                     
               (f) interconnected transistors in and at the upper                      
          surface of said device silicon layer.                                        
          7.   A silicon-on insulator integrated circuit comprising:                   
               (a) a handle die;                                                       
               (b) a first dielectric layer formed on said handle die                  
               (c) a substantially continuous silicide layer formed on                 
          said first dielectric layer, said silicide layer having a                    
          controlled resistance and providing a diffusion barrier to                   
          impurities;                                                                  
               (d) a substantially continuous second dielectric layer                  
          disposed between said silicide layer and a device silicon                    
          layer;                                                                       
               (e) trenches extending through said device silicon layer                
          and silicide layer and separating said device silicon layer                  
          into islands each with an underlying continuous silicide area;               
          and                                                                          
               (f) interconnected transistors in and at an upper surface               
          of said device silicon layer.
