Abstract
Multigate devices and methods for fabricating such are disclosed herein. An exemplary multigate device includes a first FET disposed in a first region; and a second FET disposed in a second region of a substrate. The first FET includes first channel layers disposed over the substrate, and a first gate stack disposed on the first channel layers and extended to warp around each of the first channel layers. The second FET includes second channel layers disposed over the substrate, and a second gate stack disposed on the second channel layers and extended to warp around each of the second channel layers. A number of the first channel layers is greater than a number of the second channel layers. A bottommost one of the first channel layers is below a bottommost one of the second channel layers.
