A semiconductor structure. The semiconductor structure includes: a semiconductor substrate which includes a top substrate surface which defines a reference direction perpendicular to the top substrate surface and further includes a first semiconductor body region and a second semiconductor body region; a first gate dielectric region and a second gate dielectric region on top of the first and second semiconductor body regions, respectively; a first gate electrode region on top of the semiconductor substrate and the first gate dielectric region; a second gate electrode region on top of the semiconductor substrate and the second gate dielectric region; and a gate divider region in direct physical contact with the first and second gate electrode regions. The gate divider region does not overlap the first and second gate electrode regions in the reference direction.
