Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a substrate, a gate structure, at least one nanowire, at least one epitaxy structure, and at least one source/drain spacer. The gate structure is disposed on the substrate. The nanowire extends through the gate structure. The epitaxy structure is disposed on the substrate and is in contact with the nanowire. The source/drain spacer is disposed between the epitaxy structure and the gate structure and is embedded in the epitaxy structure.
