Abstract:
A method of fabricating a FET device is provided that includes the following steps. A wafer is provided. At least one active area is formed in the wafer. A plurality of dummy gates is formed over the active area. Spaces between the dummy gates are filled with a dielectric gap fill material such that one or more keyholes are formed in the dielectric gap fill material between the dummy gates. The dummy gates are removed to reveal a plurality of gate canyons in the dielectric gap fill material. A mask is formed that divides at least one of the gate canyons, blocks off one or more of the keyholes and leaves one or more of the keyholes un-blocked. At least one gate stack material is deposited onto the wafer filling the gate canyons and the un-blocked keyholes. A FET device is also provided.
