Field-effect transistor (FET) devices are described herein that include one or more body contacts implemented near source, gate, drain (S/G/D) assemblies to improve the influence of a voltage applied at the body contact on the S/G/D assemblies. For example, body contacts can be implemented between S/G/D assemblies rather than on the ends of such assemblies. This can advantageously improve body contact influence on the S/G/D assemblies while maintaining a targeted size for the FET device.
