Patent ID: 8587062

Claim:
A field effect transistor (FET) comprising: a semiconductor island on a dielectric layer; a gate on said semiconductor island; a conductive region of a first conduction type at either end of a channel region under said gate; a perimeter stripe of dielectric material on said gate at one side of said channel region, said perimeter stripe overlapping a portion of said conductive region of said first conduction type; a perimeter conductive region of a second conduction type in said semiconductor island along said one side and forming a junction with said conductive region of said first conduction type, wherein said junction is directly below said perimeter stripe, said gate extending beneath said perimeter stripe at least to said perimeter conductive region; a body contact on said perimeter conductive region and adjacent to said perimeter stripe and said body contact contacting said channel region at said one side; and a silicide contacting the perimeter conductive region, the body contact, and a sidewall of said one side of said gate.
