    Abstract: A design layout includes a set of active region-level design shapes representing semiconductor active regions, and a set of gate-level design shapes representing gate lines straddling the semiconductor active regions. The set of gate-level design shapes include a sub-resolution assist feature (SRAF) that connects two gate-level design shapes, and is physically manifested as a gap between two gate lines upon printing employing lithographic methods. An edge of a gate line in proximity to a semiconductor active region can be cut employing a cut mask that includes a cut-level design shape that has a protruding tap. The protruding tap allows reliable removal of an end portion of a gate line and prevents disruption of raised source and drain regions by an unwanted residual gate structure.
