Abstract
An electronic device can include a first semiconductor fin and a second semiconductor fin, each spaced-apart from the other. The electronic device can also include a bridge lying between and contacting each of the first semiconductor fin and the second semiconductor fin along only a portion of length of each of the first semiconductor fin and the second semiconductor fin, respectively. In another aspect, a process for forming an electronic device can include forming a first semiconductor fin and a second semiconductor fin from a semiconductor layer, each of the first semiconductor fin and the second semiconductor fin spaced-apart from the other. The process can also include forming a bridge that contacts the first semiconductor fin and second semiconductor fin. The process can further include forming a conductive member, including a gate electrode, lying between the first semiconductor fin and second semiconductor fin.
