Abstract: A method includes forming a fin structure over a substrate, wherein the fin structure includes a base layer, an isolating layer over the base layer, and a stack of channel layers and first sacrificial layers alternately stacked over the isolating layer. The method further includes forming an isolation structure adjacent to sidewalls of the fin structure, wherein a top surface of the isolation structure is above a bottom surface of the isolating layer and below a top surface of the isolating layer. The method further includes depositing a second sacrificial layer over the isolation structure and over the sidewalls of the fin structure; etching the second sacrificial layer and the fin structure to form two source/drain trenches, wherein the source/drain trenches expose the base layer; partially removing the first and the second sacrificial layers through the source/drain trenches to form gaps; and depositing a dielectric spacer in the gaps.
