Abstract
A variety of applications can include an apparatus having an electronic device including a number of transistors in a pair-wise arrangement that can address a floating body effect associated with the type of transistor implemented in the pair-wise arrangement. The transistors can be structured as thin film transistors having one-gate separated by a gate dielectric from a vertical channel structure. The pair-wise arrangement can include a conductive shield between a channel structure of a transistor of the pair and a channel structure of the other transistor of the other pair. A conductive body can be located below the conductive shield and shorted to the conductive shield, where the conductive body contacts the channel structures of the transistors of the pair-wise arrangement. The conductive shield can be coupled to node to be set at a constant voltage in operation.
