Abstract:
A method of forming a vertical fin field effect transistor with a self-aligned gate structure, comprising forming a plurality of vertical fins on a substrate, forming gate dielectric layers on opposite sidewalls of each vertical fin, forming a gate fill layer between the vertical fins, forming a fin-cut mask layer on the gate fill layer, forming one or more fin-cut mask trench(es) in the fin-cut mask layer, and removing portions of the gate fill layer and vertical fins not covered by the fin-cut mask layer to form one or more fin trench(es), and two or more vertical fin segments from each of the plurality of vertical fins, having a separation distance, D 1 , between two vertical fin segments.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of forming a vertical fin field effect transistor (vertical finFET) with a self-aligned gate structure, comprising:\n forming a plurality of vertical fins on a substrate; forming gate dielectric layers on at least opposite sidewalls of each vertical fin; forming a gate fill layer between the vertical fins; and removing portions of the gate fill layer and vertical fins to form one or more fin trench(es), and to form two or more vertical fin segments from each of the plurality of vertical fins, wherein there is a separation distance, D 1 , between each of the two vertical fin segments.
