Abstract:
Structures and fabrication methods for a field-effect transistor. First and second spacers are formed adjacent to opposite sidewalls of a gate structure. A section of the gate structure is partially removed with a first etching process to form a cut that extends partially through the gate structure. After partially removing the section of the gate structure with the first etching process, upper sections of the first and second sidewall spacers arranged above the gate structure inside the cut are at least partially removed. After at least partially removing the upper sections of the first and second sidewall spacers, the section of the gate structure is completely removed from the cut with a second etching process. A dielectric material is deposited inside the cut to form a dielectric pillar.

Claim (Index 1):
A structure comprising:\n a first gate structure; a second gate structure spaced from the first gate structure by a cut; and a dielectric pillar arranged in the cut between the first gate structure and the second gate structure, the dielectric pillar having a lower section and an upper section that is wider than the lower section.
