Abstract:
Methods form structures that include (among other components) semiconductor fins extending from a substrate, gate insulators contacting channel regions of the semiconductor fins, and gate conductors positioned adjacent the channel regions and contacting the gate insulators. Additionally, epitaxial source/drain material contacts the semiconductor fins on opposite sides of the channel regions, and source/drain conductive contacts contact the epitaxial source/drain material. Also, first insulating spacers are on the gate conductors. The gate conductors are linear conductors perpendicular to the semiconductor fins, and the first insulating spacers are on both sides of the gate conductors. Further, second insulating spacers are on the first insulating spacers; however, the second insulating spacers are only on the first insulating spacers in locations between where the gate conductors intersect the semiconductor fins.

Claim (Index 5):
The structure according to  claim 1 , wherein the first spacers continuously contact the gate conductors along full lengths of the gate conductors, and wherein the second spacers discontinuously contact the first spacers along the along full lengths of the gate conductors.
