Abstract: The proposed L-shaped field effect transistor comprises a horizontal FET and a vertical FET, wherein one end of the former is in contact with one end of the latter. Thus, the gates (or gate channels) of the two FETs can be separated by a distance so as to reduce mutual interference and simplify fabrication. When the two transistors are made of different materials, the contact area therebetween is small and the gates (or gate channels) of the two FETs are separated by a distance. Thus, the negative effect of interface defects close to the contact area can be reduced. To be compared to planar complementary FET (even FinFET and GAAFET), the proposed L-shaped FET can occupy a similar wafer area and have a similar overall thickness after subsequent metallization.
