Hillenius 11 Quantization: (cont.) 2D gas in channel SOI Gate-all-around (GAA) MOSFET: Gate-All-Around (GAA) MOSFET is an SOI transistor in which the gate oxide and the gate electrode are wrapped around the channel region. Fabricated using an SOI CMOS process to which two process steps are added a photolithographic step a wet etch step during which a cavity is formed under previously patterned silicon islands. The remarkable features of this MOSFET are that there are two channels (at the top and the bottom of the silicon film, The entire channel area is surrounded by good-quality gate oxide and the gate electrode.
