Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming first and second fins over a substrate, forming first and second dummy gate structures over the first and second fins, respectively, replacing the first and second dummy gate structures with first and second gate structures, respectively, and after replacing the first and second dummy gate structures, forming an insulating structure between the first and second gate structures.

Claim (Index 16):
A method, comprising:\n forming first and second fins over a substrate; forming a dummy gate structure between and over the first and second fins; providing a mask over the dummy gate structure between the first and second fins; etching the dummy gate structure over the first and second fins using the mask as an etch mask; forming first and second gate structures over the first and second fins, respectively; after forming the first and second gate structures, removing the dummy gate structure between the first and second gate structures to form a gap; and forming an insulating structure in the gap.
