Abstract:
Embodiments are directed to a method of forming a feature of a semiconductor device. In one or more embodiments, the feature is a gate, and the method includes forming a substrate and forming a gate material extending over a major surface of the substrate. The method further includes forming a trench extending through the gate material and into the substrate in a first direction, wherein the trench further extends through the gate material and the substrate in a second direction. The method further includes filling the trench with a fill material and forming individual gates from the gate material, wherein the individual gates extend along a third direction.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of forming a feature of a semiconductor device, the method comprising:\n forming a substrate; forming a feature material extending over a major surface of the substrate; forming a trench having at least one inner trench sidewall and extending through the feature material and into the substrate in a first direction, wherein the trench further extends through the feature material and the substrate in a second direction, wherein the trench further extends through the feature material and the substrate in a third direction; filling the trench with a fill material such that the fill material extends along and physically couples to at least a portion of the at least one inner trench sidewall; and forming individual feature structures from the feature material; wherein each of the individual feature structures comprises: a first sidewall having a first height (H) dimension extending along the first direction and a first length dimension (L) extending along the third direction; a second sidewall formed from a portion of the at least one inner trench sidewall and having a thickness (T) dimension extending along the second direction and a second H dimension extending along the first direction; and a third sidewall having a third H dimension extending along the first direction and a second L dimension extending along the third direction; wherein T is less than H; wherein the fill material is physically coupled to the second sidewall of each of the individual feature structures.
