    Abstract: A field effect transistor (FET) structure and method for making the same is disclosed. In an aspect, a FET structure comprises a gate structure, disposed between a first vertical source/drain (S/D) structure and a second vertical S/D structure, the gate structure comprising a channel structure comprising a plurality of vertically-stacked, horizontal channels connecting the first vertical S/D structure to the second vertical S/D structure in a first horizontal direction through a vertical metal gate structure that at least partially surrounds the plurality of vertically-stacked, horizontal channels. The FET also comprises a backside inter-layer dielectric (ILD) layer disposed below the vertical metal gate structure, wherein a first thickness of the vertical metal gate structure below a bottom channel of the plurality of vertically-stacked, horizontal channels is larger than a second thickness of the vertical metal gate structure between adjacent channels of the plurality of vertically-stacked, horizontal channels.

    Abstract: Disclosed are semiconductor devices and fabrication methods. A semiconductor device includes a first gate structure including a first set of channels disposed along a first direction through a first gate metal, and a first set of gate dielectrics disposed between the first set of channels and the first gate metal. The first set of gate dielectrics each have a first thickness. The semiconductor device further includes a second gate structure including a second set of channels disposed along the first direction through a second gate metal, and a second set of gate dielectrics disposed between the second set of channels and the second gate metal. The second set of gate dielectrics each have a second thickness. The second thickness is greater than the first thickness and the second set of channels is less in number than the first set of channels.
