Abstract
A semiconductor structure includes a substrate, nanostructures, source/drain features, a gate structure, and inner spacers. The nanostructures are over the substrate and spaced apart from each other in a Z-direction. The source/drain features are electrically connected to and on opposite sides of the nanostructures in an X-direction. The gate structure extends in a Y-direction and wraps around the nanostructures. The inner spacers are between the nanostructures in the Z-direction. Each of the inner spacers includes a soft core layer and a hard liner layer wrapping around the soft core layer.
