Abstract

The disclosure concerns a microelectronic device provided with one or more <<quantum wires>>, able to form one or more transistor channels, and optimized in terms of arrangement, shape or/and composition. The invention also uses a method for fabricating said device, comprising the steps of: the forming, in one or more thin layers resting on a support, of a first block and a second block in which at least one transistor drain region and at least one transistor source region are respectively intended to be formed, and of a structure connecting the first block to the second block, and the forming, on the surface of the structure, of wires connecting a first region of the first block with another region of the second block which faces the first region.
