Abstract

See full text

A semiconductor device is provided. The semiconductor device includes a plurality of channel layers stacked over a semiconductor substrate and spaced apart from one another, a source/drain structure adjoining the plurality of channel layers, a gate structure wrapping around the plurality of channel layers, and a first inner spacer between the gate structure and the source/drain structure and between the plurality of channel layers. The first inner spacer is made of an oxide of a semiconductor material.
