    摘要: Apparatus, devices, and methods for increasing the ion energy in a plasma processing devices are provided. In various embodiments, the surface area of a showerhead facing the work piece includes a plurality of features. The plurality of features increases the surface area of the showerhead relative to a flat surface. Increasing the surface area of the showerhead increases the ion energy without increasing the power used to generate the plasma. Increasing the ion energy using such a showerhead allows for the broader application of plasma processes in integrated circuit manufacturing.

    摘要: Improved methods and apparatus for stripping photoresist and removing ion implant related residues from a work piece surface are provided. According to various embodiments, the workpiece is exposed to a passivation plasma, allowed to cool for a period of time, and then exposed to an oxygen-based or hydrogen-based plasma to remove the photoresist and ion implant related residues. Aspects of the invention include reducing silicon loss, leaving little or no residue while maintaining an acceptable strip rate. In certain embodiments, methods and apparatus remove photoresist material after high-dose ion implantation processes.
