Abstract

A device includes a first nano-sheet of a first semiconductor material. First source/drain regions are positioned adjacent ends of the first nano-sheet. A first dielectric material is positioned above the first source/drain regions. A second nano-sheet of a second semiconductor material is positioned above the first nano-sheet. Second source/drain regions are positioned adjacent ends of the second nano-sheet and above the first dielectric material. A gate structure has a first portion capacitively coupled to the first nano-sheet and a second portion capacitively coupled to the second nano-sheet. A first source/drain contact contacts a first portion of the second source/drain regions in a first region where the first and second source/drain regions do not vertically overlap. The first source/drain contact has a first depth that extends below a height of an upper surface of the first source/drain regions in a second region where the first and second source/drain regions vertically overlap.
