Abstract:
1. A method of making at least one strand of field-effect transistors (FETs), comprising: providing a precursor substrate; partially forming each of at least three FETs on said precursor substrate; after said partially forming each of said at least three FETs, securing an elongate conductor, which exists prior to said securing, to each of said at least three FETs so as to electrically connect said at least three FETs; after said securing said elongate conductor to said at least three FETs, removing portions of said precursor substrate so as to liberate a composite member from said precursor substrate, said composite member including said elongate conductor and said at least three FETs electrically connected together by said elongate conductor; and processing said composite member so as to form a gate electrode of each of said at least three FETs.
