Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes providing a semiconductor structure having a substrate and a semiconductor fin on the substrate, forming a dummy gate structure on the semiconductor fin, forming a first dielectric layer on the semiconductor structure exposing an upper surface of the dummy gate structure, removing the dummy gate structure and a portion of the semiconductor fin below the dummy gate structure to form a trench that divides the semiconductor fin into a first portion and a second portion spaced apart from each other, and forming a second dielectric layer on the semiconductor structure filling the trench. The method provides a semiconductor device having a non-recessed trench isolation structure.

Claim (Index 7):
The method of  claim 6 , wherein:\n the dummy gate structure comprises a dummy gate insulator layer on the semiconductor fin and a dummy gate on the dummy gate insulator layer; the first initial gate structure comprises a first initial gate insulator layer on the semiconductor fin and a first initial gate on the first initial gate insulator layer; the second initial gate structure comprises a second initial gate insulator layer on the semiconductor fin and a second initial gate on the second initial gate insulator layer; wherein the upper surface of the dummy gate structure is an upper surface of the dummy gate, the upper surface of the first initial gate structure is an upper surface of the first initial gate, and the upper surface of the second initial gate structure is an upper surface of the second initial gate.
