Abstract
A semiconductor structure includes several semiconductor stacks over a substrate, and each of the semiconductor stacks extends in a first direction, wherein adjacent semiconductor stacks are spaced apart from each other in a second direction, which is different from the first direction. Each of the semiconductor stacks includes channel layers above the substrate and a gate structure across the channel layers. The channel layers are spaced apart from each other in the third direction. The gate structure includes gate dielectric layers around the respective channel layers, and a gate electrode along sidewalls of the gate dielectric layers and a top surface of the uppermost gate dielectric layer. The space in the third direction between the two lowermost channel layers is greater than the space in the third direction between the two uppermost channel layers in the same semiconductor stack.
