1. A method, comprising:
forming a first multi-layer semiconductor stack on a substrate, including a first silicon germanium layer, a second silicon germanium layer and a third silicon germanium layer;
forming a silicon layer on the first multi-layer semiconductor stack;
removing the second silicon germanium layer by a first etching process that is more selective to the second silicon germanium layer than to the first and third silicon germanium layers; and
forming a first gate structure in a first opening formed by the first etching process.
