Claim Text:
1. A semiconductor structure comprising: a single-crystal semiconductor material layer comprising a first surface and a second surface opposite said first surface, wherein said first surface is a topmost surface of said single-crystal semiconductor material layer and said second surface is a bottommost surface of said single-crystal semiconductor material layer; a gate dielectric located on said first surface of said single-crystal semiconductor material layer; a gate conductor portion located on a portion of said gate dielectric; a dielectric structure in physical contact with sidewall surfaces and a topmost surface of said gate conductor portion and contacting exposed portions of said gate dielectric; a stressor layer atop the dielectric structure; and a source region and a drain region located beneath and extending outward from said second surface of said single-crystal semiconductor material layer, wherein said drain region is spaced apart from said source region.
