Abstract

See full text

A semiconductor arrangement and method of formation are provided. The semiconductor arrangement includes a semiconductor column having a first portion comprising a first material, a second portion comprising a second material, and a third portion comprising a third material, where the second material is different than the first material and the third material. The first portion, the second portion, and the third portion have substantially equal widths. A first abrupt interface exists between a top surface of the first portion and a bottom surface of the second portion, and a second abrupt interface exists between a top surface of the second portion and a bottom surface of the third portion, in an embodiment. In an embodiment, the column forms part of a transistor where the first portions functions as a source or drain, the second portion functions as a channel, and the third portion functions as a drain or source.
