Abstract
The gate region of a field effect transistor comprises at least one through hole wherein a nanoelement is provided which is electrically coupled to the source and the drain. The nanoelement may have the conductance thereof controlled by means of the gate, such that the nanoelement forms a channel region of the field effect transistor.

15. A method of fabricating a field-effect transistor, which comprises:
-
forming a source layer on a substrate;
forming an electrically conductive gate layer is on the source layer;
forming at least one through hole in the gate layer;
introducing at least one nanoelement into the through hole, the nanoelement being electrically coupled to the source layer and arranged and configured such that a conductivity thereof is controllable via the gate region, so that the nanoelement forms a channel region; and
applying a drain layer on the gate layer and electrically coupling the drain layer to the nanoelement. - View Dependent Claims (16)
