  • Publication number: 20220310819
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a channel structure, extending along a first lateral direction, that is disposed over a substrate. The semiconductor device includes a gate structure, extending along a second lateral direction perpendicular to the first lateral direction, that straddles the channel structure. The semiconductor device includes an epitaxial structure, coupled to the channel structure, that is disposed next to the gate structure. The semiconductor device includes a first gate spacer and a second gate spacer each comprising a first portion disposed between the gate structure and the epitaxial structure along the first lateral direction. The semiconductor device includes an air gap interposed between the first portion of the first gate spacer and the first portion of the second gate spacer. The air gap exposes a second portion of the first gate spacer that extends in the first lateral direction.
