Abstract
A self-aligned C-shaped vertical field effect transistor includes a semiconductor substrate having an uppermost surface and a fin structure on the uppermost surface of the semiconductor substrate. The fin structure has two adjacent vertical segments with rounded ends that extend perpendicularly from the uppermost surface of the semiconductor substrate and a horizontal segment that extends between and connects the two adjacent vertical segments. An opening is located between the two adjacent vertical segments on a side of the fin structure opposite to the horizontal segment.
