Abstract:
1. A semiconductor structure comprising: a planar semiconductor portion having a first width and a first height and located above and abutting an insulator layer; a planar source region located in one side of said planar semiconductor portion; a planar drain region separated from and located on an opposite side of said planar source region in said planar semiconductor portion; a semiconductor fin having a second width and located above and abutting an upper surface of said planar semiconductor portion, wherein said planar semiconductor portion and a portion of said semiconductor fin comprise different semiconductor materials, and wherein said first width is greater than said second width; a gate dielectric abutting sidewalls of said vertical fin and horizontal upper surface of said planar semiconductor portion; and a gate electrode abutting said gate dielectric and overlying said planar semiconductor portion and said vertical fin.
