Classification: CPC H  G | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A semiconductor device, comprising:
a plurality of first nanostructures extending along a first lateral direction;
a first epitaxial structure and second epitaxial structure respectively coupled to ends of each of the plurality of first nanostructures along the first lateral direction;
a dielectric fin structure disposed immediately next to a sidewall of each of the plurality of first nanostructures facing a second lateral direction perpendicular to the first lateral direction;
a first gate structure wrapping around each of the plurality of first nanostructures except for the sidewall that is immediately next to the dielectric fin; and
a metal structure disposed above the first gate structure and coupled to one of the first or second epitaxial structure.
