A semiconductor device is provided. The semiconductor device includes a channel structure that extends from a side of a substrate. The channel structure has sidewalls and a bottom region. The channel structure includes a bottom channel contact that is positioned at the bottom region, and a channel layer that is formed along the sidewalls and over the bottom channel contact. The channel structure further includes a high-k layer that is formed over the channel layer along the sidewalls of the channel structure and over the bottom channel contact. 1. A semiconductor device , comprising:a channel structure that extends from a side of a substrate, the channel structure having sidewalls and a bottom region, the channel structure further including a bottom channel contact that is positioned at the bottom region, and a channel layer that is formed along the sidewalls and over the bottom channel contact; anda high-k layer that is formed over the channel layer along the sidewalls of the channel structure and over the bottom channel contact.2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the high-k layer comprises a first material that increases an initial threshold voltage (Uvvt) of the semiconductor device claim 1 , and a second material that reduces the initial threshold voltage of the semiconductor device.3. The device of claim 2 , wherein an increased thickness of the high-k layer results in a larger change of the initial threshold voltage of the semiconductor device.4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the channel structure further comprises:a blocking layer formed along the sidewalls of the channel structure and further covering a first portion of the bottom channel contact;a charge trapping layer formed over the blocking layer, the charge trapping layer having side portions positioned along the sidewalls of the channel structure and a bottom portion over the bottom channel contact; anda tunneling layer formed over the charge trapping layer, the tunneling layer having side portions ...
