Disclosed herein are transistor gate-channel arrangements that may be implemented in nanowire thin film transistors (TFTs) with textured semiconductors, and related methods and devices. An example transistor gate-channel arrangement may include a substrate, a channel material that includes a textured thin film semiconductor material shaped as a nanowire, a gate dielectric that at least partially wraps around the nanowire, and a gate electrode material that wraps around the gate dielectric. Implementing textured thin film semiconductor channel materials shaped as a nanowire and having a gate stack of a gate dielectric and a gate electrode material wrapping around the nanowire advantageously allows realizing gate all-around or bottom-gate transistor architectures for TFTs with textured semiconductor channel materials.
