  • Patent number: 10347760
    Abstract: A reconfigurable field effect transistor (RFET) includes a nanowire, wherein the nanowire comprises two Schottky contacts, as well as two gate contacts partially enclosing the nanowire in cross section. An integrated circuit can be produced therefrom. The aim of producing CMOS circuits with enhanced functionality and a more compact design is achieved in that the nanowire is divided along the cross section thereof into two nanowire parts, wherein each nanowire part comprises a respective Schottky contact and a respective gate contact, and the two nanowire parts are connected electrically to one another via a common substrate and stand vertically on the substrate. In a nanowire-parts-array, between the nanowire parts, a respective top-gate contact and/or back-gate contact can be formed in a substrate defining a substrate plane.
