INTEGRATED CIRCUIT STRUCTURES HAVING UNIFORM GRID METAL GATE AND TRENCH CONTACT PLUG FOR TUB GATES WITH PYRAMIDAL CHANNEL STRUCTURES

Integrated circuit structures having uniform grid metal gate and trench contact cut with pyramidal channel structures are described. For example, an integrated circuit structure includes a vertical stack of horizontal nanowires having a pyramidal profile with a pyramid angle. A gate electrode is over the vertical stack of horizontal nanowires. A conductive trench contact is adjacent to the gate electrode. A dielectric sidewall spacer is between the gate electrode and the conductive trench contact. A dielectric cut plug structure extends through the gate electrode, through the dielectric sidewall spacer, and through the conductive trench contact. The dielectric cut plug structure has a re-entrant profile with a cut angle laterally spaced apart from the pyramid angle of the pyramidal profile of the vertical stack of horizontal nanowires.
