US Patent 11664378 Semiconductor device structure and methods of forming the same

A semiconductor device structure, along with methods of forming such, are described. The structure includes a semiconductor fin having a first portion having a first width and a second portion having a second width substantially less than the first width. The first portion has a first surface, the second portion has a second surface, and the first and second surfaces are connected by a third surface. The third surface forms an angle with respect to the second surface, and the angle ranges from about 90 degrees to about 130 degrees. The structure further includes a gate electrode layer disposed over the semiconductor fin and source/drain epitaxial features disposed on the semiconductor fin on opposite sides of the gate electrode layer.
