Abstract

A transistor (100) having a strip channel or channels (108) in which the current flow in is the lateral direction between source (110) and drain (112). The gate (116) is located on the sidewalls and, if desired, the top of the strip channel (108). In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a disposable gate process is used that allows the source (110) and drain (112) regions to be self-aligned to the gate (116).
