Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a substrate, a first gate, a second gate, and an insulating structure. The substrate includes a first fin and a second fin. The first gate is disposed over the first fin. The second gate is disposed over the second fin. A gap is formed between the first gate and the second gate, and the gap gets wider toward the substrate. The insulating structure is disposed in the gap. The insulating structure has a top surface and a bottom surface opposite to each other. The bottom surface faces the substrate. An edge of the top surface facing the first gate is curved inward the top surface.
