Abstract

Embodiments of the invention are directed to a method and resulting structures for a semiconductor device having a controllable resistance. An example method for forming a semiconductor device includes forming a source terminal and a drain terminal of a field effect transistor (FET) on a substrate. The source terminal and the drain terminal are formed on either sides of a channel region. An energy barrier is formed adjacent to the source terminal and the channel region. A conductive gate is formed over the channel region.
