Abstract: One illustrative IC product disclosed herein includes first and second final gate structures and an insulating gate separation structure positioned between the first and second final gate structures. In one embodiment, the insulating gate separation structure has a stepped bottom surface with a substantially horizontally oriented bottom central surface that is surrounded by a substantially horizontally oriented recessed surface, wherein the substantially horizontally oriented bottom central surface is positioned a first level above the substrate and the substantially horizontally oriented recessed surface is positioned at a second level above the substrate, wherein the second level is greater than the first level.

Abstract: Methods produce integrated circuit structures that include (among other components) fins extending from a first layer, source/drain structures on the fins, source/drain contacts on the source/drain structures, an insulator on the source/drain contacts defining trenches between the source/drain contacts, gate conductors in a lower portion of the trenches adjacent the fins, a first liner material lining a middle portion and an upper portion of the trenches, a fill material in the middle portion of the trenches, and a second material in the upper portion of the trenches. The first liner material is on the gate conductors in the trenches.

Abstract: Interconnect structures and methods of fabricating an interconnect structure. A first interconnect and a second interconnect extend in a first direction in a interlayer dielectric layer and are spaced apart from each other. A third interconnect is arranged in the interlayer dielectric layer to connect the first interconnect with the second interconnect. The first interconnect and the second interconnect have a first width, and the third interconnect has a second width that is less than the first width.
