Abstract

The present disclosure describes a semiconductor structure and a method for forming the same. The method can include forming a fin structure over a substrate. The fin structure can include first and second sacrificial layers. The method can further include forming a recess structure in a first portion of the fin structure, selectively etching the first sacrificial layer of a second portion of the fin structure over the second sacrificial layer of the second portion of the fin structure, and forming an inner spacer layer over the etched first sacrificial layer with the second sacrificial layer of the second portion of the fin structure being exposed.
