    Abstract: A method (of manufacturing a semiconductor device) includes: forming active regions including spacing apart neighboring active regions resulting in corresponding gaps; forming gate structures (overlying the active regions and the gaps) including locating intra-gap segments of the gate structures over the gaps, arranging each intra-gap segment to include two end regions separated by a central region, and at intersections between active regions and gate structures that is designated to be non-functional (flyover intersection), preventing formation of a functional connection between the two; and removing selected portions of at least some of the intra-gap segments including removing central regions of first selected intra-gap segments substantially without removing portions of corresponding end regions of the first selected intra-gap segments, and removing central regions and portions of end regions of second selected intra-gap segments for which corresponding end regions of the second intra-gap segments abut flyover intersections thereby trimming corresponding gate structures.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes: active regions arranged in a first grid oriented substantially parallel to a first direction; and gate electrodes arranged spaced apart in a second grid and overlying corresponding ones of the active regions, the second grid being oriented substantially parallel to a second direction, the second direction being substantially orthogonal to the first direction. The first gaps are interspersed correspondingly between neighboring ones of the active regions. For a flyover intersection at which a corresponding gate electrode crosses over a corresponding active region and for which the gate electrode is not functionally connected to the corresponding active region, the gate electrode does not extend substantially beyond the corresponding active region and so does not extend substantially into a corresponding one of the first gaps.
