Abstract:
Semiconductor devices and methods of forming the same include forming a stack of alternating channel layers and sacrificial layers. The sacrificial layers are recessed relative to the channel layers. Inner spacers are formed at ends of the sacrificial layers with a process that preferentially forms dielectric material on the sacrificial layers relative to the channel layers. Source and drain structures are formed at ends of the channel layers. The sacrificial layers are etched away to expose surfaces of the channel layers. A gate stack is formed on and around the channel layers.

Claim (Index 15):
The method of  claim 10 , wherein oxidizing the sacrificial layers and channel layers forms the inner spacers with a flat interface with the sacrificial layers.
