Patent ID: 7557006

Claim:
A method of forming a field effect transistor, comprising: forming a mass of material over a semiconductor substrate; forming semiconductive material laterally proximate and spaced from the mass of material, the semiconductive material comprising a corner proximate the mass of material; removing semiconductive material of the corner and forming a space laterally between the mass of material and the semiconductive material having an outermost portion and a portion immediately adjacent thereto with the outermost portion having a maximum lateral width which is greater than that of the adjacent portion; forming gate dielectric material and conductive gate material within the space, the gate dielectric material and the conductive gate material in combination filling the adjacent portion of the space but not filling the outermost portion of the space; etching at least the conductive gate material from at least a majority of the outermost portion of the space; and forming source/drain regions operatively proximate the conductive gate material and using the semiconductive material as a channel region of the field effect transistor.
