A semiconductor device structure is provided. The semiconductor device structure includes a substrate including a base and a fin structure over the base. The fin structure includes a nanostructure. The semiconductor device structure includes a gate stack over the base and wrapped around the nanostructure. The gate stack has an upper portion and a sidewall portion, the upper portion is over the nanostructure, and the sidewall portion is over a first sidewall of the nanostructure. The semiconductor device structure includes a first inner spacer and a second inner spacer over opposite sides of the sidewall portion. A sum of a first width of the first inner spacer and a second width of the second inner spacer is greater than a third width of the sidewall portion as measured along a longitudinal axis of the fin structure.

Semiconductor device structure with gate stack and method for forming the same

A method for forming a semiconductor device structure is provided. The method includes forming an n-type doped region in a semiconductor substrate and forming a semiconductor stack over the semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor stack has multiple sacrificial layers and multiple semiconductor layers laid out alternately. The method also includes introducing n-type dopants from the n-type doped region into the semiconductor stack during the forming of the semiconductor stack. The method further includes patterning the semiconductor stack to form a fin structure and forming a dummy gate stack to wrap around a portion of the fin structure. In addition, the method includes removing the dummy gate stack and the sacrificial layers to release multiple semiconductor nanostructures made up of remaining portions of the semiconductor layers. The method includes forming a metal gate stack to wrap around the semiconductor nanostructures.
