Abstract

A substrate driven field effect transistor (FET) and a method of forming the same. In one embodiment, the substrate driven FET includes a substrate having a source contact covering a substantial portion of a bottom surface thereof and a lateral channel above the substrate. The substrate driven FET also includes a drain contact above the lateral channel. The substrate driven FET still further includes a source interconnect that connects the lateral channel to the substrate operable to provide a low resistance coupling between the source contact and the lateral channel.
