Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to semiconductor structures and, more particularly, to cut margin structures and methods of manufacture. The method includes: forming a plurality of patterned hardmask stacks containing at least a semiconductor layer and a capping layer; removing a portion of a first patterned hardmask stack and a margin of an adjacent hardmask stack of the plurality of the patterned hardmask stacks; and selectively growing material on the margin of the adjacent hardmask stack.

Claim (Index 7):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of patterned hardmask stacks are formed by layering hardmask material on underlying material, the semiconductor layer on the hardmask material and the capping layer above the semiconductor layer, followed by an etching process to remove the portion of the first patterned hardmask stack.
