Abstract

A transistor comprises a channel region having a frontside and a backside. A gate is adjacent the frontside of the channel region with a gate insulator being between the gate and the channel region. Insulating material having net negative charge is adjacent the backside of the channel region. The insulating material comprises at least one of AlxFy, HfAlxFy, AlOxNy, and HfAlxOyNz, where “x”, “y”, and “z” are each greater than zero. Other embodiments and aspects are disclosed.
