In one embodiment to the invention, a semiconductor circuit includes a substrate and a first well formed in the substrate. A first group of field effect transistors is formed in the first well and has a first body. The circuit includes a first body voltage to the first body to forward body bias the first group of field effect transistors. The circuit includes a first isolation structure to contain the first body voltage in the first well. In another embodiment, the circuit further includes a second group of field effect transistors having a non-forward body bias and the first isolation structure prevents the first body voltage from influencing a voltage of a body of the second group of field effect transistors. In yet another embodiment, a second isolation structure adjacent to the second well contain a second body voltage in a second well holding the second group of field effect transistors.
