Abstract
Gate-all-around integrated circuit structures having depopulated channel structures, and methods of fabricating gate-all-around integrated circuit structures having depopulated channel structures using a bottom-up approach, are described. For example, integrated circuit structure includes a first vertical arrangement of nanowires and a second vertical arrangement of nanowires above a substrate. The first vertical arrangement of nanowires has a greater number of nanowires than the second vertical arrangement of nanowires. The first vertical arrangement of nanowires has an uppermost nanowire co-planar with an uppermost nanowire of the second vertical arrangement of nanowires. The first vertical arrangement of nanowires has a bottommost nanowire below a bottommost nanowire of the second vertical arrangement of nanowires. A first gate stack is over the first vertical arrangement of nanowires. A second gate stack is over the second vertical arrangement of nanowires.
