Abstract

A method of forming a nanowire device includes patterning a plurality of semiconductor material layers such that each layer has first and second exposed end surfaces. The method further includes forming doped extension regions in the first and second exposed end surfaces of the semiconductor material layers. The method further includes, after forming the doped extension regions, forming epi semiconductor material in source and drain regions of the device.
