Zusammenfassung:	Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method to increase breakdown voltage of a power device. A power device is formed on a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafer made up of a device wafer, a handle wafer, and an intermediate oxide layer. A recess is formed in a lower surface of the handle wafer to define a recessed region of the handle wafer. The recessed region of the handle wafer has a first handle wafer thickness, which is greater than zero. An un-recessed region of the handle wafer has a second handle wafer thickness, which is greater than the first handle wafer thickness. The first handle wafer thickness of the recessed region provides a breakdown voltage improvement for the power device.
