Abstract: A recovery layer (e.g., a layer of organic and/or tin-based material) is formed within recesses, in which adjacent MEOL or BEOL structures are formed, after plasma ashing and before a trimming process. The recovery layer preserves hardmask material and dielectric material such that upper surfaces of the adjacent MEOL or BEOL structures remain physically separated. As a result, the adjacent MEOL or BEOL remain electrically isolated and functional.
