Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a substrate, at least two gate spacers, and a gate stack. The substrate has at least one semiconductor fin. The gate spacers are disposed on the substrate. At least one of the gate spacers has a sidewall facing to another of the gate spacers. The gate stack is disposed between the gate spacers. The gate stack includes a high-κ dielectric layer and a gate electrode. The high-κ dielectric layer is disposed on the substrate and covers at least a portion of the semiconductor fin while leaving the sidewall of said at least one gate spacer uncovered. The gate electrode is disposed on the high-κ dielectric layer.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, the method comprising:\n forming one or more dielectric layers on a substrate; forming a dummy strip over the one or more dielectric layers, the dummy strip having a first portion interposed between a second portion and a third portion; forming a first spacer on a first sidewall and a second spacer on a second sidewall of the dummy strip; after forming the first spacer and the second spacer, removing the second portion and the third portion of the dummy strip; after removing the second portion and the third portion, forming a first insulating structure and a second insulating structure between the first spacer and the second spacer, wherein the third portion of the dummy strip is interposed between the first insulating structure and the second insulating structure; removing the dummy strip; and forming a gate structure between the first spacer and the second spacer, wherein the gate structure is interposed between the first insulating structure and the second insulating structure.
