Classification: CPC H  B | IPC B  H

Claim 0:
1. A semiconductor device, comprising:
a first stack structure including a first plurality of semiconductor layers vertically spaced from one another;
a second stack structure including a second plurality of semiconductor layers vertically spaced from one another;
a third stack structure including a third plurality of semiconductor layers vertically spaced from one another, wherein the first, second, and third stack structures all extend along a first lateral direction, wherein the second stack structure is disposed between the first and third stack structures along a second lateral direction perpendicular to the first lateral direction; and
a first gate structure that extends along the second lateral direction and wraps around each of the first plurality of semiconductor layers, each of the second plurality of semiconductor layers, and each of the third plurality of semiconductor layers, and
wherein ends of each of the first plurality of semiconductor layers are coupled with respective source/drain structures, ends of each of the second plurality of semiconductor layers are coupled with respective source/drain structures, and ends of each of the third plurality of semiconductor layers are coupled with a dielectric passivation layer.
