1. A semiconductor device structure, comprising:
a substrate;
a plurality of nanostructures over the substrate;
a semiconductor structure over the substrate, wherein the semiconductor structure comprises a lower portion and a protruding portion above the lower portion, and a top and a bottom of one of the nanostructures are vertically between opposite ends of the protruding portion;
an isolation structure surrounding the lower portion of the semiconductor structure; and
a metal gate stack wrapped around the nanostructures, wherein the metal gate stack comprises a gate dielectric layer, the gate dielectric layer has a first portion wrapped around a bottommost nanostructure of the nanostructures and a second portion extending along a top surface of the isolation structure, and the first portion is adjacent to the second portion, wherein the metal gate stack is wrapped around the protruding portion of the semiconductor structure, the metal gate stack further comprises a work function layer, and the work function layer is prevented from being between a bottommost surface of the protruding portion of the semiconductor structure and the substrate by the gate dielectric layer.
