Abstract:
1. A MOSFET for receiving an applied voltage and a gate voltage, the MOSFET comprising, a first terminal in a semiconductor material, a gate terminal receiving the gate voltage, the gate being disposed over a channel of the semiconductor material, the gate and channel being curved defined by a gate curvature, the gate being insulated from the semiconductor material, the channel having two channel ends, the two channel ends being nonparallel nonaligned channel ends, the curve of the gate and the channel are noninflecting, an insulator disposed between the gate and the semiconductor material, and a second terminal in the semiconductor material, the applied voltage extends between the first terminal and the second terminal, the gate voltage serving to control conduction between the first terminal and the second terminal in the presence of the gate voltage, the applied voltage serving to establish a diverging electric field extending from the first terminal through the channel to the second terminal, the MOSFET being a triode MOSFET, the gate terminal and second terminal are coextensive in length.
