Abstract

A semiconductor structure and a method for fabricating the same. The semiconductor structure includes a gate cut mask having one cut window exposing one or more portions of multiple sacrificial gate structures of the at least one plurality of sacrificial gate structures. The multiple sacrificial gate structures having been formed over portions of in structures. The method comprises forming a gate cut mask a plurality of semiconductor fins and a plurality of sacrificial gate structures. The gate cut mask being formed with one cut window exposing one or more portions of multiple sacrificial gate structures of the plurality of sacrificial gate structures. At least the portion of multiple sacrificial gate structures and one or more portions of each semiconductor fin of the plurality of semiconductor fins underlying the one or more portions of one of the multiple sacrificial gate structures are removed.
