Abstract
An electronic device and method of manufacturing the device. The device includes a semiconducting region, which can be a nanowire, a first contact electrically coupled to the semiconducting region, and at least one second contact capacitively coupled to the semiconducting region. At least a portion of the semiconducting region between the first contact and the second contact is covered with a dipole layer. The dipole layer can act as a local gate on the semiconducting region to enhance the electric properties of the device.
