Abstract:
An integrated circuit includes first and second semiconductor fins, first and second epitaxy structures, and first and second dielectric fin sidewall structures. The first and second epitaxy structures are respectively on the first and second semiconductor fins. The first epitaxy structure and the second epitaxy structure are merged together. The first and second dielectric fin sidewall structures are respectively on opposite first and second sidewalls of the first epitaxy structure. The first sidewall of the first epitaxy structure faces the second epitaxy structure. The first dielectric fin sidewall structure is shorter than the second dielectric fin sidewall structure.

Claim (Index 9):
An integrated circuit comprising:\n first, second, and third semiconductor fins, wherein the first semiconductor fin is between the second semiconductor fin and the third semiconductor fin, and a first distance between the first semiconductor fin and the second semiconductor fin is shorter than a second distance between the first semiconductor fin and the third semiconductor fin; first and second epitaxy structures respectively on the first and the second semiconductor fins; and first and second dielectric fin sidewall structures on opposite sidewalls of the first epitaxy structure, wherein the first dielectric fin sidewall structure is between the first epitaxy structure and the second epitaxy structure and has a top lower than a top of the second dielectric fin sidewall structure.
