Abstract
A method of forming a piezoelectronic transistor (PET), the PET, and a semiconductor device including the PET are described. The method includes forming a piezoelectric (PE) element with a trench and forming a pair of electrodes on the PE element in a coplanar arrangement in a first plane, both of the pair of electrodes being on a same side of the PE element. The method also includes forming a piezoresistive (PR) element above the pair of electrodes and forming a clamp above the PR element. Applying a voltage to the pair of electrodes causes displacement of the PE element perpendicular to the first plane.
