Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a first channel region disposed over a substrate, a first source region and a first drain region disposed over the substrate and connected to the first channel region such that the first channel region is disposed between the first source region and the first drain region, a gate dielectric layer disposed on and wrapping the first channel region, a gate electrode layer disposed on the gate dielectric layer and wrapping the first channel region, and a second source region and a second drain region disposed over the substrate and below the first source region and the first drain region, respectively. The second source region and the second drain region are in contact with the gate dielectric layer. A lattice constant of the first source region and the first drain region is different from a lattice constant of the second source region and the second drain region.
