Abstract:
In a method of removing a hard mask, a hard mask is formed on a substrate. A first plasma treatment is performed on the hard mask at a first temperature. A second plasma treatment is performed on the hard mask at a second temperature higher than the first temperature.
Abstract:
In a method of inspecting a surface of a substrate, a first surface image of the substrate before loaded into a process chamber may be obtained. The first surface image may be processed to detect a defect on the surface of the substrate. Thus, the surfaces of all of the substrate may be inspected during a process may be performed without transferring the substrates.
