    Abstract: FinFET device and method of forming the same are provided. The method of forming the FinFET device includes the following steps. A substrate having a plurality of fins is provided. An isolation structure is on the substrate surrounding lower portions of the fins. A hybrid fin is formed aside the fins and on the isolation structure. A plurality of gate lines and a dielectric layer are formed. The gate lines are across the fins and the hybrid fin, the dielectric layer is aside the gate lines. A portion of the gate lines is removed, so as to form first trenches in the dielectric layer and in the gate lines, exposing a portion of the hybrid fin and a portion of the fins underlying the portion of the gate lines. The portion of the fins exposed by the first trench and the substrate underlying thereof are removed, so as to form a second trench under the first trench. An insulating structure is formed in the first trench and the second trench.

    Abstract: Self-aligned gate cutting techniques are disclosed herein that provide dielectric gate isolation fins for isolating gates of multigate devices from one another. An exemplary device includes a first multigate device having first source/drain features and a first metal gate that surrounds a first channel layer and a second multigate device having second source/drain features and a second metal gate that surrounds a second channel layer. A dielectric gate isolation fin separates the first metal gate from the second metal gate. The dielectric gate isolation fin includes a first dielectric layer having a first dielectric constant and a second dielectric layer having a second dielectric constant disposed over the first dielectric layer. The second dielectric constant is greater than the first dielectric constant. The first metal gate and the second metal gate physically contact the first channel layer and the second channel layer, respectively, and the dielectric gate isolation fin.

    Abstract: A method for forming a semiconductor device structure is provided. The method includes forming a first gate stack over a substrate. The substrate has a base and a first fin structure over the base, and the first gate stack wraps around a first upper portion of the first fin structure. The method includes partially removing the first fin structure, which is not covered by the first gate stack. The method includes forming a first mask layer over a first sidewall of the first fin structure. The method includes forming a first stressor over a second sidewall of the first fin structure while the first mask layer covers the first sidewall. The first sidewall is opposite to the second sidewall. The method includes removing the first mask layer. The method includes forming a dielectric layer over the base and the first stressor. The dielectric layer covers the first sidewall.

    Abstract: Semiconductor devices using a dielectric structure and methods of manufacturing are described herein. The semiconductor devices are directed towards gate-all-around (GAA) devices that are formed over a substrate and are isolated from one another by the dielectric structure. The dielectric structure is formed over the fin between two GAA devices and cuts a gate electrode that is formed over the fin into two separate gate electrodes. The two GAA devices are also formed with bottom spacers underlying source/drain regions of the GAA devices. The bottom spacers isolate the source/drain regions from the substrate. The dielectric structure is formed with a shallow bottom that is located above the bottoms of the bottom spacers.
