said substrate, at least in the regions of said channels being characterized by a selection from the group consisting of:
it is substantially or per se. intrinsic;
it is substantially or per se. compensated;

such that in use a voltage is applied between the substantially non-rectifying junctions at the distal ends of said at least two channels and a voltage is applied to said gate which, when switched between the voltages applied to the substantially non-rectifying distal ends of said at least two channels, causes a voltage to appear at the substantially non-rectifying junction to said region of material which forms rectifying junctions with both field induced N and P-type semiconductor which is inverted, in that when the higher of said voltages applied to the substantially non-rectifying junctions to said distal ends of said at least two channels is applied to said gate, the voltage at the substantially non-rectifying junction to said region of material which forms rectifying junctions with both field induced N and P-type semiconductor is low, and vice-versa.

such that in use a voltage is applied between the substantially non-rectifying junctions at the distal ends of said at least two FIN channels and a voltage is applied to said gate which, when switched between the voltages applied to the substantially non-rectifying distal ends of said at least two FIN channels, causes a voltage to appear at the substantially non-rectifying junction to said region of material which forms rectifying junctions with both field induced N and P-type semiconductor which is inverted, in that when the higher of said voltages applied to the substantially non-rectifying junctions to said distal ends of said at least two FIN channels is applied to said gate, the voltage at the substantially non-rectifying junction to said region of material which forms rectifying junctions with both field induced N and P-type semiconductor is low, and vice-versa.
