Abstract: Disclosed herein are non-planar transistor (e.g., nanoribbon) arrangements having asymmetric gate enclosures on at least one side. An example transistor arrangement includes a channel material shaped as a nanoribbon, and a gate stack wrapping around at least a portion of a first face of the nanoribbon, a sidewall, and a portion of a second face of the nanoribbon.
