Patent ID: 7449735

Claim:
A complementary metal oxide semiconductor device comprising: an n-type field effect transistor comprising: at least one first semiconductor body on an isolation layer, said at least one first semiconductor body having a first top surface and first opposing sidewalls; and first gate electrodes adjacent to said first opposing sidewalls of said at least one first semiconductor body, wherein said first gate electrodes comprise a first conductive material; a p-type field effect transistor adjacent to said n-type field effect transistor and comprising: a second semiconductor body on said isolation layer, said second semiconductor body having a second top surface and second opposing sidewalls; and a second gate electrode adjacent to said second top surface of said second semiconductor body and extending laterally above said first top surface of said at least one first semiconductor body, wherein said second gate electrode comprises a second conductive material that is different from said first conductive material and wherein said second gate electrode is electrically coupled to said first gate electrodes; and an isolation region on said insulator layer and positioned between a first gate electrode of said n-type field effect transistor and a second opposing sidewall of said p-type field effect transistor.
