Abstract:
A FinFET structure with a gate structure having two notch features therein and a method of forming the same is disclosed. The FinFET notch features ensure that sufficient spacing is provided between the gate structure and source/drain regions of the FinFET to avoid inadvertent shorting of the gate structure to the source/drain regions. Gate structures of different sizes (e.g., different gate widths) and of different pattern densities can be provided on a same substrate and avoid inadvertent of shorting the gate to the source/drain regions through application of the notched features.

Claim (Index 17):
The FinFET device of  claim 11 , further comprising:\n an epitaxial source/drain region in the fin, the epitaxial source/drain having a topmost portion that is separated from the gate structure by a first distance and having a middle portion that is separated from the gate structure by a second distance that is less than the first distance; and wherein the gate structure sidewall has a slope that causes the first distance and the second distance to be greater than the first distance and the second distance would otherwise be in the absence of the slope.
