Abstract

A MOSFET and method of fabrication. The MOSFET includes a metal containing source and a metal containing drain; a semiconductor body having a thickness of less than about 15 nm disposed between the source and the drain and on top of an insulating layer, the insulating layer formed on a substrate; a gate electrode disposed over the body and defining a channel interposed between the source and the drain; and a gate dielectric made from a high-K material and separating the gate electrode and the body.
