US Patent 11984361 Multi-gate devices and method of fabricating the same

A semiconductor device includes a substrate, a plurality of nanosheets, a plurality of source/drain (S/D) features, and a gate stack. The substrate includes a first fin and a second fin. The first fin has a first width less than a second width of the second fin. The plurality of nanosheets is disposed on the first fin and the second fin. The plurality of source/drain (S/D) features are located on the first fin and the second fin and abutting the plurality of nanosheets. A bottom surface of the plurality of source/drain (S/D) features on the first fin is equal to or lower than a bottom surface of the plurality of source/drain (S/D) features on the second fin. The gate stack wraps each of the plurality of nanosheets.
