Stacked-nanosheet semiconductor structures with support structures

Abstract:

A semiconductor structure and formation thereof. The semiconductor structure including: a nano-sheet field-effect transistor; a layer of support material that is located beneath a stack of nano-sheets that are included in the nano-sheet field-effect transistor; and a vertical support that is affixed to a stack of nano-sheets, wherein the vertical support (i) has an end that is affixed to the layer of support material and (ii) a side that is a affixed to at least one nano-sheet of the stack of nano-sheets.
