Abstract:
Disclosed are methods of forming improved fin-type field effect transistor (FINFET) structures and, particularly, relatively tall single-fin FINFET structures that provide increased drive current over conventional single-fin FINFET structures. The use of such a tall single-fin FINFET provides significant area savings over a FINFET that requires multiple semiconductor fins to achieve the same amount of drive current. Furthermore, since only a single fin is used, only a single leakage path is present at the bottom of the device. Thus, the disclosed FINFET structures can be incorporated into a cell in place of multi-fin FINFETs in order to allow for cell height scaling without violating critical design rules or sacrificing performance.

Claim (Index 19):
The integrated circuit structure of  claim 16 , wherein distances between the dielectric-filled gate cut trench and the first semiconductor fin and between the dielectric-filled gate cut trench and the second semiconductor fin are greater than 15 nm.
