A multi-bridge-channel MOSFET (MBCFET) may be formed by forming a stacked
structure on a substrate that includes channel layers and interchannel
layers interposed between the channel layers. Trenches are formed by
selectively etching the stacked structure. The trenches run across the
stacked structure parallel to each other and separate a first stacked
portion including channel patterns and interchannel patterns from second
stacked portions including channel and interchannel layers remaining on
both sides of the first stacked portion. First source and drain regions
are grown using selective epitaxial growth. The first source and drain
regions fill the trenches and connect to second source and drain regions
defined by the second stacked portions. Marginal sections of the
interchannel patterns of the first stacked portion are selectively
exposed. Through tunnels are formed by selectively removing the
interchannel patterns of the first stacked portion beginning with the
exposed marginal sections. The through tunnels are surrounded by the
first source and drain regions and the channel patterns. A gate is formed
along with a gate dielectric layer, the gate filling the through tunnels
and extending onto the first stacked portion.
