Claim Text:
1. An electronic device comprising: a substrate; a vertical-support-element on the substrate, the vertical-support-element extending away from the substrate, the vertical-support-element including a first edge having a first reentrant profile; a conformal semiconductor layer in contact with the vertical-support-element in the reentrant profile; a first electrode in contact with a first portion of the semiconductor layer, the first electrode located over a top of the vertical-support-element; a second electrode in contact with a second portion of the semiconductor layer, the second electrode located over the substrate and not over the vertical-support-element, and adjacent to the first edge of the vertical-support-element; a conformal dielectric layer on the conformal semiconductor layer in the reentrant profile; and a conformal conductive gate on the conformal dielectric layer in the first reentrant profile, wherein the first electrode and the second electrode define a semiconductor channel of a transistor.
