Abstract:
A method for forming a semiconductor device is provided. In this method, a stop layer is formed on a semiconductor substrate. A semiconductor fin is formed on the stop layer. Two cells adjacent to each other are formed on the semiconductor fin. A gate conductor is formed on a top of the semiconductor fin at a common boundary that is shared by the two cells. A gate spacer is formed to peripherally enclose the gate conductor. The gate conductor and the semiconductor fin are etched to form a gap extending from the top of the semiconductor fin to the stop layer, thereby dividing the semiconductor fin into two portions of the semiconductor fin. The gap is filled with a dielectric filler.

Claim (Index 9):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein forming the stop layer is performed by implantation or atomic layer deposition (ALD).
