Multi-Vt horizontal nanosheet devices and a method of making the same. In one embodiment, an integrated circuit includes a plurality of horizontal nanosheet devices (hNS devices) on a top surface of a substrate, the plurality of hNS devices including a first hNS device and a second hNS device spaced apart from each other horizontally. Each of the hNS devices includes a first and a second horizontal nanosheets spaced apart vertically; and a gate stack between the first and second horizontal nanosheets, the gate stack including a work function metal (WFM) layer. A thickness of the first and second horizontal nanosheets of the first hNS device is different from a thickness of the first and second horizontal nanosheets of the second hNS device, and a thickness of the WFM layer of the first hNS device is different from a thickness of the WFM layer of the second hNS device.
