1. A semiconductor device comprising:
- a semiconductor body having a top surface and laterally opposite sidewalls formed on an insulating substrate;
a gate dielectric layer formed on said top surface of said semiconductor body and on said laterally opposite sidewalls of said semiconductor body wherein said gate dielectric layer on the top surface of the said semiconductor body has a higher effective dielectric constant than said gate dielectric layer on said sidewalls of said semiconductor body, wherein said gate dielectric layer on said sidewalls comprises a first grown dielectric layer and a second deposited dielectric layer, wherein said gate dielectric layer on said top surface of said semiconductor body consist only of said second deposited dielectric layer; and
a gate electrode formed on said gate dielectric on said top surface of said semiconductor body and adjacent to said gate dielectric on said laterally opposite sidewalls of said semiconductor body.
