Abstract

A semiconductor device structure is provided. The semiconductor device includes a first nanowire structure over a second nanowire structure, a gate stack wrapping around the first nanowire structure and the second nanowire structure, a source/drain feature adjoining the first nanowire structure and the second nanowire structure, a gate spacer layer over the first nanowire structure and between the gate stack and the source/drain feature, and an inner spacer layer between the first nanowire structure and the second nanowire structure and between the gate stack and the source/drain feature. The gate spacer layer has a first carbon concentration, the inner spacer has a second carbon concentration, and the second carbon concentration is lower than the first carbon concentration.
