ABSTRACT:
A multiple channel transistor provides a transistor with an improved drive current and speed by using tunable hot carrier effects. A thin gate oxide has a carrier confinement layer formed on top thereof. Holes produced by hot carrier effects are retained by the carrier confinement layer directly above the gate oxide layer. The holes switch on the bottom transistor of the multi-channel transistor, thereby increasing the drive current.
