Abstract:
Methods form devices by patterning a lower layer to form a fin, and forming a sacrificial gate along sidewalls of the fin. Such methods form a mask with cut openings on the sacrificial gate and remove sections of the fin and the sacrificial gate exposed through the cut openings to divide the fin into fin portions and create cut areas between the fin portions. Additionally, these methods remove the mask, epitaxially grow source/drains in the cut areas, replace the sacrificial gate with a gate conductor, and form a gate contact on the gate conductor over a center of the fin portions.

Claim (Index 26):
The apparatus according to  claim 21 , wherein the center of the fin portions is equidistant between the cut areas.
