Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention are directed to monolithic stacked field effect transistor (SFET) processing methods and resulting structures having dual middle dielectric isolation (MDI) separation. In a non-limiting embodiment of the invention, a first nanosheet is formed and a second nanosheet is vertically stacked over the first nanosheet. A gate is formed around a channel region of the first nanosheet and a channel region of the second nanosheet and a middle dielectric isolation structure is formed between the first nanosheet and the second nanosheet. The middle dielectric isolation structure includes a first middle dielectric isolation layer and a second middle dielectric isolation layer vertically stacked over the first middle dielectric isolation layer. A portion of the gate extends between the first middle dielectric isolation layer and the second middle dielectric isolation layer in the middle dielectric isolation structure.
