Abstract

An integrated circuit includes a first nanostructure transistor and a second nanostructure transistor. When forming the integrated circuit, an inter-sheet fill layer is deposited between semiconductor nanostructures of the second nanostructure transistor. A first gate metal layer is deposited between semiconductor nanostructures of the first nanostructure transistor while the inter-sheet filler layer is between the semiconductor nanostructures of the second nanostructure transistor. The inter-sheet filler layer is utilized to ensure that the first gate metal is not deposited between the semiconductor nanostructures of the second nanostructure transistor.
