Abstract:
Parallel fins are formed (in a first orientation), and source/drain structures are formed in or on the fins, where channel regions of the fins are between the source/drain structures. Parallel gate structures are formed to intersect the fins (in a second orientation perpendicular to the first orientation), source/drain contacts are formed on source/drain structures that are on opposite sides of the gate structures, and caps are formed on the source/drain contacts. After forming the caps, a gate cut structure is formed interrupting the portion of the gate structure that extends between adjacent fins. The upper portion of the gate cut structure includes extensions, where a first extension extends into one of the caps on a first side of the gate cut structure, and a second extension extends into the inter-gate insulator on a second side of the gate cut structure.

Claim (Index 3):
The apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein the first extension and the second extension have top surfaces within a first plane,\n wherein the first extension has a first bottom surface opposite the top surfaces in a second plane different from the first plane, wherein the second extension has a second bottom surface opposite the top surfaces in a third plane different from the first plane and the second plane, and wherein the distance between the first bottom surface and the top surfaces is less than the distance between the second bottom surface and the top surfaces, such that the first extension that extends into one of the caps is thinner, in a direction perpendicular to the layer, than the second extension that extends into the inter-gate insulator.
