Abstract: Embodiments include nanostructure devices and methods of forming nanostructure devices which include a treatment process to expand a sidewall spacer material to close a seam in the sidewall spacer material after deposition. The treatment process includes oxidation anneal and heat anneal to expand the sidewall spacer material and crosslink the open seam to form a closed seam, lower k-value, and decrease density.
