Abstract
Embodiments of the invention are directed to a method of forming an integrated circuit (IC). The method includes performing fabrication operations that form the IC. The fabrication operations include forming a channel fin. A gate structure is formed along a sidewall surface of the channel fin. The gate structure includes a conductive gate having an L-shape profile, and the L-shape profile includes a conductive gate foot region. The conductive gate foot region is replaced with a dielectric foot region.
