ABSTRACT:
A method of fabricating a structure and fabricating related semiconductor transistors and novel semiconductor transistor structures. The method of fabricating the structure includes: providing a substrate having a top surface; forming an island on the top surface of the substrate, a top surface of the island parallel to the top surface of the substrate, a sidewall of the island extending between the top surface of the island and the top surface of the substrate; forming a plurality of carbon nanotubes on the sidewall of the island; and performing an ion implantation, the ion implantation penetrating into the island and blocked from penetrating into the substrate in regions of the substrate masked by the island and the carbon nanotubes.
