Abstract:
A semiconductor structure is disclosed that includes the fin structure and the plurality of gates. The plurality of gates disposed with respect to the fin structure and including the first gate, the second gate, and the third gate. The spacing between the first gate and the second gate is smaller than the spacing between the second gate and the third gate. The second gate is disposed between the first gate and the third gate. The foot portion of the first gate, facing the second gate, and the first foot portion of the second gate, facing the first gate, have no lateral extension. The second foot portion of the second gate, facing the third gate, and the foot portion of the third gate, facing the second gate, have no lateral extension and/or cut.

Claim (Index 15):
A method, comprising:\n performing a directional deposition to form a protection layer on side walls of a first gate, a second gate, and a third gate that are disposed with respect to a fin structure, wherein a spacing between the first gate and the second gate is smaller than a spacing between the second gate and the third gate; and etching the protection layer and foot portions facing each other of the first gate and the second gate, to form the first gate and the second gate having foot portions that face each other and have no lateral extension, and to form the second gate and the third gate having foot portions that face each other and have vertical side walls.
