Abstract

Structures for a field-effect transistor and methods of forming a field-effect transistor. A gate structure of the field-effect transistor is arranged over an active region comprised of a semiconductor material. A first sidewall spacer is arranged adjacent to the gate structure. A second sidewall spacer includes a section arranged between the first sidewall spacer and the active region. The first sidewall spacer is composed of a low-k dielectric material.
