Abstract

The disclosed embodiments relate to a vertical tunneling transistor that may include a channel disposed on a substrate. A quantum dot may be disposed so that an axis through the channel and the quantum dot is substantially perpendicular to the substrate. A gate may be disposed so that an axis through the channel, the quantum dot and the gate is substantially perpendicular to the substrate.
