Abstract: Self-aligned gate cutting techniques for multigate devices are disclosed herein that provide multigate devices having asymmetric metal gate profiles and asymmetric source/drain feature profiles. An exemplary multigate device has a channel layer, a metal gate that wraps a portion of the channel layer, and source/drain features disposed over a substrate. The channel layer extends along a first direction between the source/drain features. A first dielectric fin and a second dielectric fin are disposed over the substrate and configured differently. The channel layer extends along a second direction between the first dielectric fin and the second dielectric fin. The metal gate is disposed between the channel layer and the second dielectric fin. In some embodiments, the first dielectric fin is disposed on a first isolation feature, and the second dielectric fin is disposed on a second isolation feature. The first isolation feature and the second isolation feature are configured differently.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method of semiconductor fabrication. The method includes forming a fin protruding from a substrate, the fin having a first sidewall and a second sidewall opposing the first sidewall; forming a sacrificial dielectric layer on the first and second sidewalls and a top surface of the fin; etching the sacrificial dielectric layer to remove the sacrificial dielectric layer from the second sidewall of the fin; forming a recess in the fin; growing an epitaxial source/drain (S/D) feature from the recess, the epitaxial S/D feature having a first sidewall and a second sidewall opposing the first sidewall, wherein the sacrificial dielectric layer covers the first sidewall of the epitaxial S/D feature; recessing the sacrificial dielectric layer, thereby exposing the first sidewall of the epitaxial S/D feature; and forming an S/D contact on the first sidewall of the epitaxial S/D feature.
