Abstract
A semiconductor structure includes a plurality of fin structures extending along a first direction, a plurality of gate structure segments positioned along a line extending in a second direction, the second direction being orthogonal to the first direction, wherein the gate structure segments are separated by dummy fin structures. The semiconductor structure further includes a conductive layer disposed over both the gate structure segments and the dummy fin structures to electrically connect at least some of the gate structure segments, and a cut feature aligned with one of the dummy fin structures and positioned to electrically isolate gate structure segments on both sides of the one of the dummy fin structures.
