    Abstract: Devices and methods of fabricating integrated circuit devices with reduced cell height are provided. One method includes, for instance: obtaining an intermediate semiconductor device having a substrate including a logic area and an SRAM area, a fin material layer, and a hardmask layer; depositing a mandrel over the logic area; depositing a sacrificial spacer layer; etching the sacrificial spacer layer to define a sacrificial set of vertical spacers; etching the hardmask layer; leaving a set of vertical hardmask spacers; depositing a first spacer layer; etching the first spacer layer to define a first set of vertical spacers over the logic area; depositing an SOH layer; etching an opening in the SOH layer over the SRAM area; depositing a second spacer layer; and etching the second spacer layer to define a second set of spacers over the SRAM area.

    Abstract: One illustrative method disclosed herein includes, among other things, forming an original fin-formation etch mask comprised of a plurality of original line-type features and removing at least a portion of at least one of the plurality of original line-type features so as to thereby define a modified fin-formation etch mask comprising the remaining portions of the plurality of original line-type features. The method also includes forming a conformal layer of material on the remaining portions of the plurality of original line-type features of the modified fin-formation etch mask and performing at least one etching process to remove at least portions of the conformal layer of material and to define a plurality of fin-formation trenches so as to thereby initially define a plurality of fins in the substrate.

    Abstract: Device structures and fabrication methods for a field-effect transistor. A semiconductor fin includes a first section and a second section in a lengthwise arrangement, a first gate structure overlapping the first section of the semiconductor fin, and a second gate structure overlapping the second section of the semiconductor fin. A pillar is arranged in the first section of the semiconductor fin. The pillar extends through a height of the semiconductor fin and across a width of the semiconductor fin.
