Abstract
A semiconductor structure includes a first set of fins and a second set of fins, a dielectric pillar disposed between the first set of fins and the second set of fins, a bottom source/drain (S/D) region directly contacting a bottom surface of the first and second set of fins, and a top S/D region directly contacting a top surface of the first and second set of fins. A high-k metal gate (HKMG) is disposed between fins of the first set of fins and between fins of the second set of fins. The HKMG directly contacts sidewalls of the dielectric pillar. A width of the HKMG between the first set of fins is equal to a width of the HKMG between the second set of fins.
