Abstract
A device includes: a stack of semiconductor channels; a gate structure wrapping around the semiconductor channels; a source/drain region abutting the semiconductor channels; a source/drain contact on the source/drain region; and a gate spacer between the source/drain contact and the gate structure. The gate spacer includes: a first spacer layer in contact with the gate structure; and a second spacer layer between the first spacer layer and the source/drain contact, the second spacer layer having a first portion on the stack and a second portion on the first portion, the second portion being thinner than the first portion.
