Abstract

A method for manufacturing a semiconductor structure includes forming a fin over a substrate, wherein the fin includes first semiconductor layers and second semiconductor layers alternating stacked. The method also includes forming an isolation feature around the fin, forming a dielectric feature over the isolation feature, forming a cap layer over the fin and the dielectric feature, oxidizing the cap layer to form an oxidized cap layer, forming source/drain features passing through the cap layer and in the fin, removing the second semiconductor layers in the fin to form nanostructures, and forming a gate structure wrapping around the nanostructures.
