Abstract

A semiconductor device structure is provided. The semiconductor device structure includes forming semiconductor device structure includes a gate stack wrapping around a plurality of nanowire structures. The gate stack includes a first portion above the plurality of nanowire structures and second portions between the nanowire structures. The semiconductor device structure further includes a gate spacer layer along a sidewall of the first portion of the gate stack, and a plurality of inner spacer layers along sidewalls of the second portions of the gate stack. The gate spacer layer has a first carbon concentration, the inner spacer layers have a second carbon concentration, and the second carbon concentration is lower than the first carbon concentration.
