Abstract
The present disclosure describes a semiconductor device with a fill structure. The semiconductor structure includes first and second fin structures on a substrate, an isolation region on the substrate and between the first and second fin structures, a first gate structure disposed on the first fin structure and the isolation region, a second gate structure disposed on the second fin structure and the isolation region, and the fill structure on the isolation region and between the first and second gate structures. The fill structure includes a dielectric structure between the first and second gate structures and an air gap enclosed by the dielectric structure. The air gap is below top surfaces of the first and second fin structures.
