  • Patent number: 9520482
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a semiconductor device includes forming a first fin and a second fin on a substrate. The first fin has a first gate region and the second fin has a second gate region. The method also includes forming a metal-gate line over the first and second gate regions. The metal-gate line extends from the first fin to the second fin. The method also includes applying a line-cut to separate the metal-gate line into a first sub-metal gate line and a second sub-metal gate line and forming an isolation region within the line cut.

  • Patent number: 8058125
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a poly resistor on a semiconductor device and a method of fabricating the same. In an embodiment, a poly silicon resistor device is formed by providing a substrate having a first region and a second region. A dummy gate stack is formed on the substrate in the first region, wherein the dummy gate stack has a dummy gate stack thickness extending above the substrate. A poly silicon resister is formed on the substrate in the second region, wherein the poly silicon resistor has a poly silicon resistor thickness extending above the substrate a distance which is less than the dummy gate stack thickness. A dopant is implanted into the substrate in the first region thereby forming a source region and a drain region in the first region of the substrate. The dopant is also implanted into the poly silicon resistor. An inter-level dielectric (ILD) layer is formed on the substrate over the dummy gate stack and also over the poly silicon resistor.
