Abstract

A MOSFET and methods of fabrication. The MOSFET includes a gate having a center gate electrode portion being spaced from the layer of semiconductor material by a center gate dielectric. The gate also includes a lateral gate electrode portion adjacent each sidewall of the center gate electrode portion. The lateral gate electrode portions are each spaced from the layer of semiconductor material by a lateral gate dielectric portion.
