Abstract: Gate cutting techniques disclosed herein form gate isolation fins to isolate metal gates of multigate devices from one another before forming the multigate devices, and in particular, before forming the metal gates of the multigate devices. 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 gate isolation fin, which separates the first metal gate and the second metal gate, 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 less than the first dielectric constant. A gate isolation end cap may be disposed on the gate isolation fin to provide additional isolation.

Abstract: A method includes forming a first semiconductor layer over a substrate. A second semiconductor layer is formed over the first semiconductor layer. The first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer are etched to form a fin structure that extends from the substrate. The fin structure has a remaining portion of first semiconductor layer and a remaining portion of the second semiconductor layer atop the remaining portion of the first semiconductor layer. A capping layer is formed to wrap around three sides of the fin structure. At least a portion of the capping layer and at least a portion of the remaining portion of the second semiconductor layer in the fin structure are oxidized to form an oxide layer wrapping around three sides of the fin structure.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a fin-like field effect transistor (FinFET) device and a method of fabrication thereof. The method includes forming a fin on a substrate and forming a gate structure wrapping the fin. A pair of spacers is formed adjacent to the gate structure and the gate structure is removed. Afterwards, a pair of oxide layers is deposited adjacent to the pair of spacers. A pair of gate dielectric layers is deposited next to the pair of oxide layers. Finally, a metal gate is formed between the pair of gate dielectric layers.
