Abstract: One aspect of the present invention relates to a semiconductor transistor device with an annular gate surrounding, at least in part, a channel that conducts current between a first and second source/drain. Another aspect of the present invention relates to a semiconductor transistor device having an annular gate and containing a channel composed of a polymer material. Yet another aspect of the present invention relates to fabrication of a device utilizing a polymer channel surrounded, at least in part, by an annular gate. Still yet another aspect of the present invention relates to a system with a means to control (and/or amplify) current via an annular gate surrounding a channel which conducts current between a first and second source/drain. Still other aspects of the present invention include devices incorporating the present invention's devices, systems and methods such as computers, memory, handhelds and electronic devices.
