摘要:
A method removes and/or contains edge residue. A wafer comprised of a semiconductor material having a top surface, a bottom surface and an edge surface is provided. The bottom surface and the top surface are substantially planar and the edge surface is non-planar. Residue can be located on the edge surface, which can dislodge if not addressed and damage devices formed on the wafer. One or more devices can be at least partially formed on the top surface. A pre-metal dielectric liner is formed over the top surface of the wafer and covering at least a portion of the residue. An edge portion of the liner is etched or otherwise removed to expose the portion of the residue. Thereafter, a pre-metal dielectric layer is formed over the top surface of the wafer and the pre-metal dielectric liner. During formation of the pre-metal dielectric layer, the edge residue is removed and/or contained.

The present invention provides a method for removing photoresist, and a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device. The method for removing photoresist, without limitation, may include subjecting a photoresist layer (210) located over a substrate (110) to a thermal bake (410) in the presence of hydrogen, and then removing the photoresist layer (210).

Processes and systems for purifying ethylene oxide, including introducing a feed stream including ethylene oxide to a heat exchanger to heat the feed stream, feeding the heated feed stream to a distillation apparatus base below a first stage, removing from the distillation apparatus an impurity fraction as a top exit stream from the distillation apparatus located at a top take-off on the distillation apparatus, removing from the distillation apparatus an ethylene oxide stream of 99.7 weight percent purity, based on the total weight of the ethylene oxide stream, from the distillation apparatus, and removing from the distillation apparatus an aldehyde enriched fraction as a bottom stream from the distillation apparatus, where the aldehyde enriched fraction is fed directly to a glycol reactor.
