Abstract
Gate-all-around (GAA) devices and methods of manufacturing such devices are described herein. A method includes forming a multi-layer structure over a substrate and forming a plurality of source/drain regions in the multi-layer structure. Fins are then patterned into the multi-layer structure through adjacent source/drain regions. A wire release process is performed to remove materials of one or more of the layers in the multi-layer stack. The remaining layers of the multi-layer stack form a stack of nanostructures connecting adjacent source/drain regions of the fins.
