    Abstract: Gate-all-around integrated circuit structures having self-aligned source or drain undercut for varied widths are described. In an example, a structure includes first and second vertical arrangements of nanowires above a substrate, the nanowires of the second vertical arrangement of nanowires having a horizontal width greater than a horizontal width of the nanowires of the first vertical arrangement of nanowires. First and second gate stack portions are over the first and second vertical arrangements of nanowires, respectively. First embedded epitaxial source or drain regions are at ends of the first vertical arrangement of nanowires and extend beneath dielectric sidewalls spacers of the first gate stack portion by a first distance. Second embedded epitaxial source or drain regions are at ends of the second vertical arrangement of nanowires and extend beneath the dielectric sidewalls spacers of the second gate stack portion by a second distance substantially the same as the first distance.

    Abstract: A transistor structure includes a base and a body over the base. The body comprises a semiconductor material and has a first end portion and a second end portion. A gate structure is wrapped around the body between the first end portion and the second end portion, where the gate structure includes a gate electrode and a dielectric between the gate electrode and the body. A source is in contact with the first end portion and a drain is in contact with the second end portion. A first spacer material is on opposite sides of the gate electrode and above the first end portion. A second spacer material is adjacent the gate structure and under the first end portion of the nanowire body. The second spacer material is below and in contact with a bottom surface of the source and the drain.
