1. A vertical transistor formed in a semiconductor substrate comprising:

  • a upper transistor electrode formed in a top level of said transistor;

    a lower transistor electrode formed in a lower level of said transistor;

    a gate dielectric extending downwardly from said upper transistor electrode toward said lower transistor electrode and abutting a transistor body formed in said semiconductor substrate;

    a threshold dopant distribution of dopant disposed in said semiconductor body, said dopant distribution having a peak adjacent said gate dielectric and a lower value of dopant concentration away from said gate dielectric; and

    a transistor gate disposed adjacent said gate dielectric on a side opposite said transistor body.
