Abstract

The invention includes a semiconductor device comprising an interlevel dielectric layer over a buried insulator layer over a semiconductor substrate; a source and drain in the interlevel layer; a channel between the source and drain, the channel including a first region having a first bandgap adjacent to a second region having a second bandgap, wherein the first band gap is larger than the second bandgap; and a gate over the channel.
