Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a substrate, wherein the substrate includes a channel region. The semiconductor device further includes an isolation feature in the substrate. The isolation feature includes a first portion in the substrate, and a second portion extending along a top surface of the substrate. The second portion partially covers the channel region. The semiconductor device further includes a gate structure over the substrate, wherein the gate structure partially covers the second portion of the isolation feature.

Claim (Index 10):
A method of making a semiconductor device, the method comprising:\n etching a substrate to define a trench in a substrate, wherein the trench is adjacent to an active region in the substrate, and etching the substrate comprises patterning a mask; partially removing the mask to expose a first portion of the active region, wherein the first portion extends a first distance from the trench; depositing a dielectric material to fill the trench and cover the first portion of the active region; removing the mask, wherein the removing of the mask comprises maintaining the dielectric material covering the first portion of the active region; and forming a gate structure over the active region and over the dielectric material.
