Abstract:
A semiconductor device and a method of forming the same are provided. A method includes forming a fin extending from a substrate. A sacrificial gate electrode layer is formed along a sidewall and a top surface of the fin. A patterning process is performed on the sacrificial gate electrode layer to form a sacrificial gate electrode. A reshaping process is performed on the sacrificial gate electrode to form a reshaped sacrificial gate electrode. The reshaped sacrificial gate electrode includes a first portion along the top surface of the fin and a second portion along the sidewall of the fin. A width of the first portion decreases as the first portion extends from a top surface of the first portion toward the top surface of the fin. A width of the second portion decreases as the second portion extends from the top surface of the fin toward the substrate.
