Abstract:
A device includes a gate isolation plug, which further includes a U-shaped layer having a bottom portion and two sidewall portions, and an inner region overlapping the bottom portion. The inner region contacts the two sidewall portions. A first transistor has a first gate stack, and a first end of the first gate stack is in contact with both the inner region and the U-shaped layer of the gate isolation plug. A second transistor has a second gate stack, and a second end of the second gate stack is in contact with both the inner region and the U-shaped layer of the gate isolation plug. The first gate stack and the second gate stack are on opposite sides of the gate isolation plug.

Claim (Index 9):
A method comprising:\n forming an isolation plug between a first semiconductor fin and a second semiconductor fin, the isolation plug comprising:\n a first region formed of a first dielectric material; and \n a second region formed of a second dielectric material different from the first dielectric material, wherein the second region comprises a first vertical portion and a second vertical portion on opposite sidewalls of the first region, and a bottom portion connected to bottom ends of the first vertical portion and the second vertical portion, the bottom portion being overlapped by the first region; \n forming a first gate stack on the first semiconductor fin; and forming a second gate stack on the second semiconductor fin, wherein the first gate stack and the second gate stack contact the isolation plug.
