Abstract

Methods for manufacturing a semiconductor structure are provided. The method includes alternately stacking first semiconductor material layers and second semiconductor layers over a substrate and patterning the first semiconductor material layers and the second semiconductor layers to form a first fin structure and a second fin structure. The method also includes forming an insulating layer around the first fin structure and the second fin structure and forming a dielectric fin structure over the insulating layer and spaced apart from the first fin structure and the second fin structure. The method also includes forming a first source/drain structure attached to the first fin structure and forming a semiconductor layer covering the first source/drain structure. The method also includes oxidizing the semiconductor layer to form an oxide layer and forming a second source/drain structure attached to the second fin structure after the oxide layer is formed.
