Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes providing a semiconductor structure having a substrate and a semiconductor fin on the substrate, forming a dummy gate structure on the semiconductor fin, forming a first dielectric layer on the semiconductor structure exposing an upper surface of the dummy gate structure, removing the dummy gate structure and a portion of the semiconductor fin below the dummy gate structure to form a trench that divides the semiconductor fin into a first portion and a second portion spaced apart from each other, and forming a second dielectric layer on the semiconductor structure filling the trench. The method provides a semiconductor device having a non-recessed trench isolation structure.

Claim (Index 6):
The method of  claim 5 , further comprising, after forming the dummy gate structure, the first initial gate structure and the second initial gate structure:\n forming a first dielectric layer on the semiconductor structure; and planarizing the first dielectric layer to expose an upper surface of the dummy gate structure, an upper surface of the first initial gate structure, and an upper surface of the second initial gate structure.
