Original Abstract Submitted

According to the embodiment of the present invention, a semiconductor device includes a first nanodevice and a second nanodevice. The second nanodevice is located adjacent to and parallel to the first nanodevice along a first axis. The first nanodevice and the second nanodevice each include a first section, a second section, and a third section. A first gate cut region is located between the first sections of the first nanodevice and the second nanodevice. A middle gate cut region is located between the second sections of the first nanodevice and the second nanodevice. A third gate cut region is located between the third sections of the first nanodevice and the second nanodevice. The middle gate cut region has different dimensions along a second axis than the first gate cut region and the third gate cut region. A middle section contact is located in the middle gate cut region.
