ABSTRACT:
A thin film field effect transistor includes: a) a thin film channel region; b) a pair of opposing electrically conductive first and second source/drain regions adjacent the thin film channel region; c) a gate insulator and a gate positioned adjacent the thin film channel region for electrically energizing the channel region to switch on the thin film field effect transistor; d) the first source/drain region having a first thickness, the second source/drain region having a second thickness, the channel region having a third thickness; at least one of the first and second thicknesses being greater than the third thickness. Methods are disclosed for making thin field effect transistors.
