Abstract

In an embodiment, a device includes: an isolation region; nanostructures protruding above a top surface of the isolation region; a gate structure wrapped around the nanostructures, the gate structure having a bottom surface contacting the isolation region, the bottom surface of the gate structure extending away from the nanostructures a first distance, the gate structure having a sidewall disposed a second distance from the nanostructures, the first distance less than or equal to the second distance; and a hybrid fin on the sidewall of the gate structure.
