Abstract:
A FinFET structure with a gate structure having two notch features therein and a method of forming the same is disclosed. The FinFET notch features ensure that sufficient spacing is provided between the gate structure and source/drain regions of the FinFET to avoid inadvertent shorting of the gate structure to the source/drain regions. Gate structures of different sizes (e.g., different gate widths) and of different pattern densities can be provided on a same substrate and avoid inadvertent of shorting the gate to the source/drain regions through application of the notched features.

Claim (Index 14):
The FinFET device of  claim 11 , and further comprising:\n a second gate structure having two notch features individually in a third portion over the fin and a fourth portion overlapped with the sidewalls of the fin, the two notch features of the second gate structure being wherein the second gate structure defines a second channel length greater than the first channel length of the gate structure; a third gate structure having two notch features individually in a fifth portion over the fin and a sixth portion overlapped with the sidewalls of the fin, wherein the third gate structure defines a third channel length greater than the second channel length; and wherein the gate structure, the second gate structure and the third gate structure are geometrically similar, and further wherein a difference between the first width and the second width of the gate structure is equal to a difference between the first width and the second width of the second gate structure, and difference between the first width and the second width of the second gate structure is equal to a between the first width and the second width of the third gate structure.
