Abstract

A method for forming a nanosheet device. The method may include providing a heterostructure device stack above a semiconductor substrate. The method may include patterning the heterostructure device stack to define a dummy gate region, and before forming a source drain recess adjacent the dummy gate region, selectively removing a first set of sacrificial layers of the heterostructure device stack within the dummy gate region.
