Consistent with example embodiments a semiconductor device and a method are disclosed for obtaining on a substrate a multilayer structure with a quantum well structure. The quantum well structure comprises a semiconductor layer sandwiched by insulating layers, wherein the material of the insulating layers has preferably a high dielectric constant. In a field effect transistor (FET) the quantum wells function as channels, allowing a higher drive current and a lower off current. Short channel effects are reduced. The multi-channel FET is suitable to operate even for sub-35 nm gate lengths. In the method the quantum wells are formed by epitaxial growth of the high dielectric constant material and the semiconductor material alternately on top of each other, preferably with molecular beam epitaxy (MBE).
