Abstract

See full text

A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor fin. The semiconductor device includes a gate spacer over the semiconductor fin. A lower portion of the gate spacer surrounds a first region and an upper portion of the gate spacer surrounds a second region. The semiconductor device includes a gate dielectric within the first region. The semiconductor device includes a metal gate within the first region. The semiconductor device includes a dielectric protection layer, in contact with the gate dielectric layer, that includes a first portion within the second region and a second portion lining a top surface of the metal gate.
