Abstract

Provided is a stacked field-effect transistor (FET). The stacked FET comprises a top device, a bottom device, and a transition region between the top device and the bottom device. The transition region includes a plurality of inner spacers and a first inter-layer dielectric (ILD). The ILD is formed between each of the plurality of inner spacers. The top and bottom devices have a first channel sheet thickness in a gate region and a second channel sheet thickness between inner spacers. The second channel sheet thickness is larger than both the first channel sheet thickness and the first distance.
