Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes first and second FETs including first and second channel regions, respectively. The first and second FETs include first and second gate structures, respectively. The first and second gate structures include first and second gate dielectric layers formed over the first and second channel regions and first and second gate electrode layers formed over the first and second gate dielectric layers. The first and second gate structures are aligned along a first direction. The first gate structure and the second gate structure are separated by a separation plug made of an insulating material. A width of the separation plug in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction is smaller than a width of the first gate structure in the second direction, when viewed in plan view.

Claim (Index 1):
A semiconductor device, comprising:\n a first fin field-effect transistor (Fin FET) including a first fin structure extending in a first direction and a first gate structure, the first gate structure including a first gate dielectric layer formed over the first fin structure and a first gate electrode layer formed over the first gate dielectric layer and extending in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction; a second Fin FET including a second fin structure extending in the first direction and a second gate structure, the second gate structure including a second gate dielectric layer formed over the second fin structure and a second gate electrode layer formed over the second gate dielectric layer and extending in the second direction; and sidewall spacers, between which the first and second gate structures are disposed, wherein: the first gate structure and the second gate structure are separated by a separation plug made of an insulating material, the first and second gate structures are in direct contact with the separation plug, and an additional insulating layer is disposed between the separation plug and the sidewall spacers.
