In this embodiment, the thickness of the interfacial layer 3 is 2nm to 4 nm. The smaller the thickness of the interfacial layer 3 is, the smaller the total thickness of the interfacial layer 3 and the gate dielectric layer 4 is, so that the larger the total capacitance of the interfacial layer 3 and the gate dielectric layer 4 is, and the more charges can be stored in the interfacial layer 3 and the gate dielectric layer 4 under the same voltage of the gate layer 5, the larger the current is, that is, the smaller the thickness of the interfacial layer 3 is, the stronger the current control capability of the gate layer 5 on the channel is; however, when the thickness of the interfacial layer 3 is too small, the total thickness of the interfacial layer 3 and the gate dielectric layer 4 is too small, and an electric field with a larger intensity is easily generated by an applied voltage applied to the surrounding gate field effect transistor, so that the surrounding gate field effect transistor is broken down, and the service life of the surrounding gate field effect transistor is affected.

This results in a smaller effective area for the channel region 22 to pass current and an increased effective on-resistance, resulting in increased power consumption.
In this embodiment, the diameter of the semiconductor nanowire 2 does not exceed 6 nm. By limiting the diameter of the semiconductor nanowire 2 to be not more than 6nm, the distance between the central axis of the channel region 22 and the outer surface layer of the channel region 22 is smaller, so that the current density difference between the central axis and the outer surface layer is reduced, the uniformity of current distribution of the channel region 22 along the radius direction of the channel region 22 is improved, the current on the outer surface of the channel region 22 is equal to the current on the central axis of the channel region 22, the effective area of the channel region 22 through which the current passes is the actual area of the channel region 22, the effective on-resistance is reduced, and the power consumption is reduced; meanwhile, the smaller diameter of the semiconductor nanowire 2 enables the size of the surrounding gate field effect transistor to be smaller, thereby improving the integration level of the surrounding gate field effect transistor.
