Abstract:
A method of forming a gate structure with a modified gate geometry, including, forming two gate spacers and a dummy gate fill on a channel, wherein the dummy gate fill is between the two gate spacers, forming a stressed layer on the two gate spacers, wherein the stressed layer is on the surfaces of the gate spacers opposite the dummy gate fill, and wherein the stressed layer applies a tensile stress to the two gate spacers, and removing a portion of the dummy gate fill, wherein the tensile stress applied to the two gate spacers is no longer balanced by the dummy gate fill, such that each of the two gate spacers becomes inclined at an obtuse angle relative to a top surface of the remaining dummy gate fill.

Claim (Index 11):
The gate structure of  claim 10 , wherein the distance between the two gate spacers above the inclined portions is W 2 , which is greater than the distance, W 1 .
