Abstract
Semiconductor structures and methods for manufacturing the same are provided. The semiconductor structure includes nanostructures spaced apart from each other in a first direction and a gate structure formed over and around the nanostructures. The semiconductor structure further includes a gate spacer covering a sidewall of the gate structure and a source/drain structure attached to the nanostructures in a second direction. The semiconductor structure further includes a contact spaced apart from the gate structure by the gate spacer in the second direction and a first conductive structure landing over the gate structure. The semiconductor structure further includes a second conductive structure formed over the gate spacer. In addition, a portion of the second conductive structure is sandwiched between the first conductive structure and the contact.
