US Patent 7795647 Curled semiconductor transistor

A curled transistor comprises a coiled semiconductor substrate having a plurality of concentrically curled layers. Source and drain regions are configured on a portion of the coiled semiconductor substrate, and a gate dielectric is positioned between the source and drain regions. A first set of metallic contacts electrically couple to the source region on the coiled semiconductor substrate and a second set of metallic contacts electrically couple to the drain region on the coiled semiconductor substrate.
