Patent ID: 8022478

Claim:
A method of forming a field effect transistor comprising: providing a substrate; forming, on said substrate, a first semiconductor body, a second semiconductor body and a plurality of semiconductor fins extending laterally between said first semiconductor body and said second semiconductor, said plurality of semiconductor fins comprising at least: a first semiconductor fin and a second semiconductor fin; forming a gate traversing said first semiconductor fin and said second semiconductor fin such that said gate is between said first semiconductor body and said second semiconductor body and has a first section adjacent to a first channel region and a second section adjacent to a second channel region, said first section of said gate being on a first top surface and first opposing sidewalls of said first semiconductor fin and having different physical dimensions than said second section of said gate on a second top surface and second opposing sidewalls of said second semiconductor fin such that a first surface area of said first top surface and said first opposing sidewalls covered by said first section is different than a second surface area of said second top surface and said second opposing sidewalls covered by said second section, said different physical dimensions comprising at least different lengths as measured in a direction parallel to said semiconductor fins from a first side adjacent to said first semiconductor body to a second side adjacent to said second semiconductor body; and forming source/drain regions in said first semiconductor body and said second semiconductor body.
