Abstract
In an embodiment, a device includes: a first nanostructure over a substrate, the first nanostructure including a channel region and a first lightly doped source/drain region, the first lightly doped source/drain region adjacent the channel region; a first epitaxial source/drain region wrapped around four sides of the first lightly doped source/drain region; an interlayer dielectric over the first epitaxial source/drain region; a source/drain contact extending through the interlayer dielectric, the source/drain contact wrapped around four sides of the first epitaxial source/drain region; and a gate stack adjacent the source/drain contact and the first epitaxial source/drain region, the gate stack wrapped around four sides of the channel region.
