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 15):
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, the method comprising:\n forming a dummy structure over a fin on a substrate; forming a first insulating structure along a first side of the dummy structure and a second insulating structure along a second side of the dummy structure; removing a first portion of the dummy structure and a second portion of the dummy structure to form a first recess and a second recess, respectively, between the first insulating structure and the second insulating structure; forming a third insulating structure in the first recess and a fourth insulating structure in the second recess; after forming the third insulating structure and the fourth insulating structure, removing remaining portions of the dummy structure to form a third recess; and forming a gate structure in the third recess.
