Abstract

A method of making a transistor with independent gate structures. The gate structures are each adjacent to sidewalls of a semiconductor structure. The method includes depositing at least one conformal layer that includes a layer of gate material over a semiconductor structure that includes the channel region. A planar layer is formed over the wafer. The planar layer has a top surface below the top surface of the rat least one conformal layer at a location over the substrate. The at least one conformal layers are etched to remove the gate material over the semiconductor structure.
