Abstract

The present invention discloses a hexagonal programmable array based on a silicon nanowire field effect transistor and a method for fabricating the same. The array includes a nanowire device, a nanowire device connection region and a gate connection region, wherein, the nanowire device has a cylinder shape, and includes a silicon nanowire channel, a gate dielectric layer, and a gate region, the nanowire channel being surrounded by the gate dielectric layer, and the gate dielectric layer being surrounded by the gate region; the nanowire devices are arranged in a hexagon shape to form programming unit, the nanowire device connection region is a connection node of three nanowire devices and secured to a silicon supporter. The present invention can achieve a complex control logic of interconnections and is suitable for a digital/analog and a mixed-signal circuit having a high integration degree and a high speed.
