Publication number: 20240105814Abstract: A first layer is formed over a substrate; a second layer is formed over the first layer; and a third layer is formed over the second layer. The first and third layers each have a first semiconductor element; the second layer has a second semiconductor element different from the first semiconductor element. The second layer has the second semiconductor element at a first concentration in a first region and at a second concentration in a second region of the second layer. A source/drain trench is formed in a region of the stack to expose side surfaces of the layers. A first portion of the second layer is removed from the exposed side surface to form a gap between the first and the third layers. A spacer is formed in the gap. A source/drain feature is formed in the source/drain trench and on a sidewall of the spacer.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Che-Lun Chang, Jiun-Ming Kuo, Ji-Yin Tsai, Yuan-Ching Peng
