Abstract
A method for semiconductor processing includes removing, from a first region of a semiconductor device, a middle layer and a bottom layer of a trilayer structure including a photoresist layer to expose at least one first structure. A top layer of the trilayer structure in a second region of the semiconductor device is removed during the removal of the bottom layer in the first region. The method further includes, after removing the middle and bottom layers in the first region, filling the first region to protect the at least one first structure.
