  • Publication number: 20240096707
    Abstract: A method includes forming a gate stack, which includes a first portion over a portion of a first semiconductor fin, a second portion over a portion of a second semiconductor fin, and a third portion connecting the first portion to the second portion. An anisotropic etching is performed on the third portion of the gate stack to form an opening between the first portion and the second portion. A footing portion of the third portion remains after the anisotropic etching. The method further includes performing an isotropic etching to remove a metal gate portion of the footing portion, and filling the opening with a dielectric material.

  • Publication number: 20210066205
    Abstract: An electronic device and a method for manufacturing an electronic device are provided. The electronic device includes a first substrate, a second substrate disposed opposite to the first substrate, a first light-shielding strip disposed on the first substrate and extending along a first direction, and a second light-shielding strip disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate and extending along a second direction different from the first direction. A portion of the first light-shielding strip overlapping a portion of the second light-shielding strip is defined as an overlapping region. The other portions of the first light-shielding strip and the second light-shielding strip outside the overlapping region are defined as a first non-overlapping region and a second non-overlapping region. The first light-shielding strip has a first thickness in the overlapping region and a second thickness in the first non-overlapping region.
