Abstract
A semiconductor device with different configurations of nanostructured channel regions and a method of fabricating the semiconductor device are disclosed. The semiconductor device includes a fin structure disposed on a substrate, a stack of nanostructured horizontal channel (NHC) regions disposed on the fin structure, a nanostructured vertical channel (NVC) region disposed within the stack of NHC regions, a source/drain (S/D) region disposed on the fin structure, and a gate structure disposed on the NHC regions and on portions of the NVC region that are not covered by the NHC regions and the fin structure.
