Abstract
A semiconductor device and methods of forming the same include a semiconductive fin protruding vertically from a body region and extending along a first direction, an insulator material above the body region and surrounding a lower portion of the fin, and a gap region between first and second ends of the semiconductive fin where at least a top portion of the semiconductive fin is absent. The device includes current terminals coupled to first and second ends of the fin, and a gate electrode and a gate extension coupled to the fin. The gate electrode surrounds the top portion of the semiconductive fin and is separated from the semiconductive by a gate insulator material. The gate extension has a first end adjacent to the gate electrode and a second end above the body region within the gap region.
