Abstract: A method of fabricating a semiconductor device includes providing a dummy structure having a plurality of channel layers, an inner spacer disposed between adjacent channels of the plurality of channel layers and at a lateral end of the channel layers, and a gate structure including a gate dielectric layer and a metal layer interposing the plurality of channel layers. The dummy structure is disposed at an active edge adjacent to an active region. A metal gate etching process is performed to remove the metal layer from the gate structure while the gate dielectric layer remains disposed at a channel layer-inner spacer interface. After performing the metal gate etching process, a dry etching process is performed to form a cut region along the active edge. The gate dielectric layer disposed at the channel layer-inner spacer interface prevents the dry etching process from damaging a source/drain feature within the adjacent active region.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for operation of an apparatus in a wireless communication system are provided. The apparatus may be a terminal, a chipset, or a base station. A terminal receives, from a base station, a configuration of a frequency band in which a reference signal is to be measured, and measures the reference signal in the corresponding frequency band. In this step, a case may occur in which the reference signal cannot be measured in the entire frequency band that has been received as a configuration. In this case, the terminal distinguishes between a case in which the reference signal can be measured in the entire frequency band that has been received as a configuration and a case in which it cannot, and reports independent channel state information to the base station.
