Abstract
Dual fin endcaps for self-aligned gate edge architectures, and methods of fabricating dual fin endcaps for self-aligned gate edge architectures, are described. In an example, a semiconductor structure includes an I/O device having a first plurality of semiconductor fins disposed above a substrate and protruding through an uppermost surface of a trench isolation layer. A logic device having a second plurality of semiconductor fins is disposed above the substrate and protrudes through the uppermost surface of the trench isolation layer. A gate edge isolation structure is disposed between the I/O device and the logic device. A semiconductor fin of the first plurality of semiconductor fins closest to the gate edge isolation structure is spaced farther from the gate edge isolation structure than a semiconductor fin of the second plurality of semiconductor fins closest to the gate edge isolation structure.
