Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a first transistor and a well strap feature disposed over a doped region of a first type dopant. The first transistor includes a first gate structure engaging a first channel region and a first epitaxial feature abutting the first channel region. The well-strap feature incudes a plurality of first nanostructures vertically stacked, a second gate structure wrapping around each of the first nanostructures, and a second epitaxial feature abutting the first nanostructures. The well-strap feature is configured to bias the doped region by electrically connecting the second epitaxial feature to a bias voltage.
