1. A field effect transistor, comprising:
a substrate;
a substrate dielectric disposed on the substrate;
a bottom gate disposed on the substrate dielectric;
a source disposed above the substrate dielectric and having a source extension extending from a main body of the source to be adjacent to the bottom gate;
a drain disposed above the substrate dielectric and having a drain extension extending from a main body of the drain to be adjacent to the bottom gate;
a channel confined by being coupled between the source extension and the drain extension, the channel making a junction contact to the bottom gate to form a JFET;
a top gate disposed above the channel;
a local interconnect coupled to the top gate;
a first insulating spacer disposed between the top gate and the source; and
a second insulating spacer disposed between the top gate and the drain.
