多個分離結構SP可設置成安置於元件隔離層23上安置在多個源極/汲極區60及多個閘極電極G1至G3當中。舉例而言,如圖1至圖5中所繪示,每一分離結構SP可位於鄰近源極/汲極區60之間(例如,在第一水平方向上之間)及/或鄰近閘極電極G1至閘極電極G3之間(例如,在與第一水平方向相交及/或垂直於第一水平方向的第二水平方向上之間)。多個分離結構SP中的每一者可包含第一間隔物層51、第二間隔物層52以及絕緣圖案55。絕緣圖案55可包含面向彼此的第一側表面55S1及第二側表面55S2(例如,其為絕緣圖案55的第一相對側表面)。第一側表面55S1及第二側表面55S2中的每一者可鄰近於多個源極/汲極區60中的對應一者。重申,且如至少圖1中所繪示,給定分離結構SP的絕緣圖案55的可鄰近地位於兩個鄰近源極/汲極區60之間的第一側表面55S1及第二側表面55S2可鄰近於兩個鄰近源極/汲極區60的分離的各別源極/汲極區60(例如,直接接觸及/或接近於其)。絕緣圖案55可包含第三側表面55S3及第四側表面55S4。第三側表面55S3及第四側表面55S4中的每一者可鄰近於多個閘極電極G1至G3中的對應一者。第三側表面55S3及第四側表面55S4可面向彼此及/或可為絕緣圖案55的鄰近於閘極電極G1至閘極電極G3中的鄰近閘極電極中的分離的各別閘極電極的第二相對側表面。
第二間隔物層52可位於第一間隔物層51與絕緣圖案55之間。第二間隔物層52可部分包圍絕緣圖案55的第一側表面55S1、第二側表面55S2、第三側表面55S3以及第四側表面55S4以及絕緣圖案55的底部(例如,下表面55b)。因此,應理解,間隔物層54可包圍絕緣圖案55的下表面55b(在垂直於下表面21s的方向(例如,豎直方向)上及/或平行於下表面21s的方向(例如,水平方向)上與其直接接觸或不直接接觸)。應理解,間隔物層54(例如,51及/或52)可位於第一側表面55S1至第四側表面55S4上。間隔物層54(例如,第一間隔物層51及/或第二間隔物層52)可位於絕緣圖案55與至少一個閘極電極之間。第一間隔物層51可安置於第二間隔物層52外部。第一間隔物層51可在元件隔離層23與絕緣圖案55之間延伸。第二間隔物層52可安置於第一間隔物層51與絕緣圖案55之間。因此,應理解,間隔物層54可在元件隔離層23與絕緣圖案55之間延伸。
絕緣圖案55的最上部末端55u可突出至比多個源極/汲極區60中的每一者的中心60c高的高度(例如,在垂直於下表面21s的方向上可更遠離下表面21s),例如如圖1中所繪示。每一源極/汲極區60的中心60c可指與源極/汲極區的最上部末端60u及最下部末端60L等距的點或位置。如至少圖1中所繪示,絕緣圖案55的最上部末端55u可突出至比源極/汲極區60的一部分60w高的高度,所述部分60w在多個源極/汲極區60中的每一者的部分當中的具有最大水平寬度w1(例如,每一源極/汲極區60的部分60w在平行於下表面21s的方向上具有源極/汲極區60的最大水平寬度w1)。多個源極/汲極區60可接觸(例如,直接接觸)第一側表面55S1及第二側表面55S2。重申,在分離結構SP位於鄰近源極/汲極區60之間的情況下,鄰近源極/汲極區可直接接觸第一側表面55S1及第二側表面55S2的分離的各別表面。多個源極/汲極區60的最上部末端60u可突出至比絕緣圖案55的最上部末端55u高的高度。
如本文中所描述,表面、末端、結構或其類似者的「高度」可指在垂直於基底21的下表面21s的方向上距基底21的下表面21s的距離。因此,當在本文中將第一元件描述為處於比第二元件高的高度時,第一元件在垂直於下表面21s的方向上可比第二元件更遠離下表面21s。此外,當在本文中將第一元件描述為處於比第二元件低的高度時,第一元件在垂直於下表面21s的方向上可比第二元件更接近下表面21s。此外,當在本文中將第一元件描述為處於與第二元件相同的高度時,第一元件在垂直於下表面21s的方向上可與第二元件等距地遠離/接近下表面21s。
絕緣圖案55的最上部末端55u可比鄰近於第一側表面55S1及第二側表面55S2的第一間隔物層51及第二間隔物層52的上表面51u1及上表面52u1更遠離基底21的下表面21s(例如,可處於比所述上表面高的高度)。重申,絕緣圖案55的最上部末端55u在垂直於下表面21s的方向上可比鄰近於第一側表面及第二側表面的間隔物層54的第一上表面54u1更遠離基底21的下表面21s,其中第一上表面54u1可包含上表面51u1及/或上表面52u1任一者或兩者。在垂直於下表面21s的方向上,鄰近於第一側表面55S1及第二側表面55S2的第一間隔物層51及第二間隔物層52的上表面51u1及/或上表面52u1與絕緣圖案55的最上部末端55u之間的距離(例如,第一上表面54u1與最上部末端55u之間的距離)可為約10奈米至約50奈米。在一些實例實施例中,鄰近於第一側表面55S1及第二側表面55S2的第一間隔物層51及第二間隔物層52的上表面與絕緣圖案55的最上部末端55u之間的距離可為約20奈米或大於20奈米。
鄰近於第一側表面55S1及第二側表面55S2之第一間隔物層51可包含傾斜上表面51ui,其在傾斜至下表面21s的方向上傾斜(其中所述方向可為非垂直的且不平行於下表面21s)。因此應理解,鄰近於第一側表面55S1及第二側表面55S2的間隔物層54可包含所述傾斜上表面51ui。傾斜上表面51ui可具有隨著傾斜上表面變得更遠離絕緣圖案55而下降的傾斜度。傾斜上表面51ui可具有一定傾斜度,所述傾斜度隨著距絕緣圖案55的距離下降,使得傾斜上表面51ui的給定部分在垂直於下表面21s的方向上的高度與傾斜上表面51ui的給定部分在平行於下表面21s的方向上距絕緣圖案55的距離成比例地減小。如至少圖1中所繪示,鄰近於第一側表面55S1及第二側表面55S2的第二間隔物層52的上表面52u1可在垂直於下表面21s的方向上比鄰近於第一側表面55S1及第二側表面55S2的第一間隔物層51的上表面51u1更靠近(例如,更接近)基底21的下表面21s。多個源極/汲極區60可接觸第一間隔物層51的側表面以及第一間隔物層51的上表面51u1,同時接觸第二間隔物層52的上表面52u1。如至少圖1中所繪示,源極/汲極區60可接觸(例如,直接接觸)第一間隔物層51及第二間隔物層52的上表面51u1及上表面52u1。
第一間隔物層51及第二間隔物層52可在絕緣圖案55與多個閘極電極G1至G3之間延伸。如圖4中所繪示,第一間隔物層51及第二間隔物層52可具有鄰近於第三側表面55S3及第四側表面55S4的各別第二上表面51u2及第二上表面52u2。第二上表面51u2及第二上表面52u2可或共同地稱為間隔物層54的第二上表面54u2。絕緣圖案55的最上部末端55u可比鄰近於第三側表面55S3及第四側表面55S4的第一間隔物層51的上表面更靠近基底21的下表面21s。重申,且如至少圖4中所繪示,絕緣圖案55的最上部末端55u可比鄰近於第三側表面55S3及第四側表面55S4的第一間隔物層51的第二上表面51u2(且因此間隔物層54的第二上表面54u2)更靠近基底21的下表面21s。第一間隔物層51的最上部末端可與多個閘極電極G1至G3的上表面實質上共面。鄰近於第三側表面55S3及第四側表面55S4的第二間隔物層52的上部表面可比絕緣圖案55的最上部末端55u更靠近基底21的下部表面21s。
