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.
