    Abstract: A device includes a substrate, a shallow trench isolation (STI) structure, an isolation structure, and a gate stack. The substrate has a semiconductor fin. The shallow trench isolation (STI) structure is over the substrate and laterally surrounding the semiconductor fin. The isolation structure is disposed on a top surface of the STI structure. The gate stack crosses the semiconductor fin, over the STI structure, and in contact with a sidewall the isolation structure, in which the gate stack includes a high-k dielectric layer extending from a sidewall of the semiconductor fin to the top surface of the STI structure and terminating prior to reaching the sidewall of the isolation structure, and the high-k dielectric layer is in contact with the top surface of the STI structure. The gate stack includes a gate electrode over the high-k dielectric layer and in contact with the sidewall of the isolation structure.

    Abstract: A method includes forming an active channel region, forming a dummy channel region, forming a first gate dielectric layer over the active channel region, forming a second gate dielectric layer over the dummy channel region, removing the second gate dielectric layer from the dummy channel region, forming a gate isolation region over and contacting the dummy channel region, and forming a first gate stack and a second gate stack. The first gate stack is on the active channel region. The gate isolation region separates the first gate stack from the second gate stack.

    Abstract: A method includes etching a semiconductor substrate to form a trench, with the semiconductor substrate having a sidewall facing the trench, and depositing a first semiconductor layer extending into the trench. The first semiconductor layer includes a first bottom portion at a bottom of the trench, and a first sidewall portion on the sidewall of the semiconductor substrate. The first sidewall portion is removed to reveal the sidewall of the semiconductor substrate. The method further includes depositing a second semiconductor layer extending into the trench, with the second semiconductor layer having a second bottom portion over the first bottom portion, and a second sidewall portion contacting the sidewall of the semiconductor substrate. The second sidewall portion is removed to reveal the sidewall of the semiconductor substrate.

    Abstract: A device includes a semiconductor substrate and a first gate stack over the semiconductor substrate, the first gate stack being between a first gate spacer and a second gate spacer. The device further includes a second gate stack over the semiconductor substrate between the first gate spacer and the second gate spacer and a dielectric material separating the first gate stack from the second gate stack. The dielectric material is at least partially between the first gate spacer and the second gate spacer, a first width of an upper portion of the dielectric material is greater than a second width of a lower portion of the dielectric material, and a third width of an upper portion of the first gate spacer is less than a fourth width of a lower portion of the first gate spacer.
