Abstract

Methods for manufacturing a semiconductor structure are provided. The semiconductor structure includes a substrate a substrate and channel layers vertically stacked over the substrate. The semiconductor structure also includes a dielectric fin structure formed adjacent to the channel layers and a gate structure abutting the channel layers and the dielectric fin structure. The semiconductor structure also includes a source/drain structure attached to the channel layers and a contact formed over the source/drain structure. The semiconductor structure also includes a Si layer covering a portion of a top surface of the source/drain structure. In addition, the Si layer is sandwiched between the dielectric fin structure and the contact.
