Summary:At least one method, apparatus and system disclosed herein involves a gate cut process using a stress material for a finFET device. A set of fins are formed on a semiconductor substrate. A gate region is formed above a portion of the set of fins. A gate cut trench is formed within the gate region. A dielectric material comprising an intrinsic stress is deposited into the gate cut region. A replacement metal gate process is performed in the gate region. Residue metal features are removed about the gate cut region.
