FinFETs and methods of forming finFETs are described. According to some embodiments, a structure includes a channel region, first and second source/drain regions, a dielectric layer, and a gate electrode. The channel region includes semiconductor layers above a substrate. Each of the semiconductor layers is separated from neighboring ones of the semiconductor layers, and each of the semiconductor layers has first and second sidewalls. The first and second sidewalls are aligned along a first and second plane, respectively, extending perpendicularly to the substrate. The first and second source/drain regions are disposed on opposite sides of the channel region. The semiconductor layers extend from the first source/drain region to the second source/drain region. The dielectric layer contacts the first and second sidewalls of the semiconductor layers, and the dielectric layer extends into a region between the first plane and the second plane. The gate electrode is over the dielectric layer.
