A solid source-diffused junction is described for fin-based electronics. In one example, a fin is formed on a substrate. A glass of a first dopant type is deposited over the substrate and over a lower portion of the fin. A glass of a second dopant type is deposited over the substrate and the fin. The glass is annealed to drive the dopants into the fin and the substrate. The glass is removed and a first and a second contact are formed over the fin without contacting the lower portion of the fin.
