Abstract:
In an embodiment, a method includes: forming a fin extending from a substrate; forming a first gate mask over the fin, the first gate mask having a first width; forming a second gate mask over the fin, the second gate mask having a second width, the second width being greater than the first width; depositing a first filling layer over the first gate mask and the second gate mask; depositing a second filling layer over the first filling layer; planarizing the second filling layer with a chemical mechanical polish (CMP) process, the CMP process being performed until the first filling layer is exposed; and planarizing the first filling layer and remaining portions of the second filling layer with an etch-back process, the etch-back process etching materials of the first filling layer, the second filling layer, the first gate mask, and the second gate mask at the same rate.
