Abstract

A method for manufacturing a nanowire transistor device includes the following steps: A substrate is provided, and the substrate includes a plurality of nanowires suspended thereon. Each of the nanowires includes a first semiconductor core. Next, a first selective epitaxial growth process is performed to form second semiconductor cores respectively surrounding the first semiconductor cores. The second semiconductor cores are spaced apart from the substrate. After forming the second semiconductor core, a gate is formed on the substrate.
