Abstract
A semiconductor device structure includes a first dielectric wall, a plurality of first semiconductor layers vertically stacked and extending outwardly from a first side of the first dielectric wall, a plurality of second semiconductor layers vertically stacked and extending outwardly from a second side of the first dielectric wall. The structure also includes a first gate electrode layer surrounding at least three surfaces of each of the first semiconductor layers, the first gate electrode layer having a first conductivity type, and a second gate electrode layer surrounding at least three surfaces of each of the second semiconductor layers, the second gate electrode layer having a second conductivity type opposite the first conductivity type. The structure further includes a gate bridge contact disposed on the first dielectric wall, and a gate via contact disposed on the gate bridge contact.
