Abstract
A field effect transistor comprising source and drain regions, a channel region composed of a semiconductor layer formed between the source and drain regions and gate electrodes disposed to at least three surfaces surrounding the channel region. The structure can increase the number of carriers induced in the channel region and enhance the current driving performance and mutual conductance as compared with the single gate structure or double gate structure.
