Claim Text:
1. A semiconductor structure comprising: a semiconductor body comprising: a first source/drain region; a second source/drain region at an end of said semiconductor body; and, a channel region positioned laterally between said first source/drain region and said second source/drain region; an isolation region laterally surrounding said semiconductor body; multiple gates comprising: dielectric material above said multiple gates and above said semiconductor body between said multiple gates; multiple contacts comprising: an additional semiconductor body in end-to-end alignment with said semiconductor body, said additional semiconductor body comprising an additional source/drain region separated from said second source/drain region by said isolation region, and said multiple gates further comprising an additional gate adjacent to said additional semiconductor body at an interface between said additional source/drain region and said isolation region, said additional gate being non-functioning, and said multiple contacts further comprising an additional source/drain contact extending vertically through said dielectric material to said additional source/drain region and to said additional gate.
