Abstract:
A method for fabricating a Fin-FET device includes forming a plurality of discrete fin structures on a substrate which includes a first device region and a second device region, forming a plurality of dummy gate electrodes across the fin structures, and forming an interlayer dielectric layer exposing the dummy gate electrodes on a portion of the fin structures exposed by the dummy gate electrodes, forming a first opening by removing each dummy gate electrode, forming an initial metal gate electrode in the first opening and between adjacent fin structures, and forming a second opening through the initial metal gate electrode. The initial metal gate electrode formed in the first device region is a first metal gate electrode, and the initial metal gate electrode formed in the second device region is a second metal gate electrode. The second opening separates the first metal gate electrode from the second metal gate electrode.

Claim (Index 13):
A Fin-FET device, comprising:\n a substrate including a first device region and a second device region; a plurality of discrete fin structures formed on the substrate; an initial metal gate electrode formed across the plurality of fin structure and covering a portion of top and sidewall surfaces of each fin structure in the first and second device regions; and an interlayer dielectric layer formed on a portion of the fin structures exposed by the initial metal gate electrode, wherein the initial metal gate electrode contains an opening between adjacent fin structures in the first and second device regions.
