A method of manufacturing a nanowire transistor includes oxidizing at least a portion of a semiconductor carrier. The semiconductor carrier includes a first carrier portion and a second carrier portion above the first carrier portion. A portion of the oxidized portion is removed, thereby forming an oxide spacer between a portion of the second carrier portion and the first carrier portion. A gate region is formed above at least a portion of the second carrier portion, and a first source/drain region and a second source/drain region are formed.

A gate electrode is spaced apart from the one rib side face by a second insulator layer and from the memory layer by a third insulator layer, electrically insulated from the channel region, and configured to control its electrical conductivity.
