Summary: | An asymmetric silicon-on-insulator (SOI) junction field effect transistor (JFET) and a method. The JFET includes a bottom gate on an insulator layer, a channel region on the bottom gate and, on the channel region, source/drain regions and a top gate between the source/drain regions. STIs isolate the source/drain regions from the top gate and a DTI laterally surrounds the JFET to isolate it from other devices. Non-annular well(s) are positioned adjacent to the channel region and bottom gate (e.g., a well having the same conductivity type as the top and bottom gates can be connected to the top gate and can extend down to the insulator layer, forming a gate contact on only a portion of the channel region, and/or another well having the same conductivity type as the channel and source/drain regions can extend from the source region to the insulator layer, forming a source-to-channel strap). |
