Abstract
An electronic circuit is described, comprising: a first power rail; a second power rail; and a field effect transistor, FET, the FET comprising: a first terminal coupled directly or indirectly to the first power rail; a second terminal coupled directly or indirectly to the second power rail; a channel of semiconductive material connecting the first terminal to the second terminal; a gate terminal to which a voltage may be applied to control a conductivity of the channel, the channel providing a conduction path from the first terminal to the second terminal; and a gate dielectric arranged to insulate the gate terminal from the channel. The circuit further comprises a layer or other body of dielectric material, the gate dielectric being a first portion of the layer or other body of dielectric material. The first power rail comprises a first rail portion arranged on a first side of a second portion of the layer or other body of dielectric material, and the second power rail comprises a second rail portion arranged on a second side of the second portion of the layer or other body of dielectric material, the second side being opposite the first side. The second portion of the layer or o…
