    Abstract: Integrated circuit structures having metal-containing source or drain structures, and methods of fabricating integrated circuit structures having metal-containing source or drain structures, are described. For example, an integrated circuit structure includes a vertical arrangement of horizontal nanowires. A gate stack is around the vertical arrangement of horizontal nanowires. A first epitaxial source or drain structure is at a first end of the vertical arrangement of horizontal nanowires, and a second epitaxial source or drain structure is at a second end of the vertical arrangement of horizontal nanowires. The first and second epitaxial source or drain structures include a metal species diffused therein, the metal species further diffused partially into the vertical arrangement of horizontal nanowires.
