Abstract

A device includes a semiconductor fin, a first source/drain feature, a second source/drain feature, and a dielectric plug. The first source/drain feature adjoins the semiconductor fin. The second source/drain feature adjoins the semiconductor fin. The dielectric plug extends from above the semiconductor fin into the semiconductor fin, the dielectric plug is between the first source/drain feature and the second source/drain feature. The dielectric plug includes a waist and a first portion below the waist, and a width of the waist is less than a width of the first portion of the dielectric plug.
