Patent ID: 7859044

Claim:
A semiconductor structure, comprising: a semiconductor fin located on a substrate, said semiconductor fin having a first sidewall and a second sidewall, wherein said second sidewall is opposite said first sidewall, and wherein said semiconductor fin is fully depleted upon operation; a gate dielectric portion located on said first sidewall of said semiconductor fin; a gate electrode located on a first side of said semiconductor fin, said gate electrode laterally abutting said gate dielectric portion located on said first sidewall, wherein no gate electrode is present on a second side of said semiconductor fin that is opposite said first side of said semiconductor fin and wherein no gate dielectric portion is located on said second sidewall of the semiconductor fin; and a middle-of-the line (MOL) dielectric surrounding the semiconductor fin wherein a portion of the MOL dielectric is in direct contact with a bare surface of said second sidewall of said semiconductor fin.
