Abstract

The present invention is a semiconductor device comprising a semiconductor body having a top surface and laterally opposite sidewalls formed on a substrate. A gate dielectric layer is formed on the top surface of the semiconductor body and on the laterally opposite sidewalls of the semiconductor body. A gate electrode is formed on the gate dielectric on the top surface of the semiconductor body and adjacent to the gate dielectric on the laterally opposite sidewalls of the semiconductor body.
