摘要:
The invention provides for a method and integrated system for removing a halogen-containing residue from a substrate comprising etching the substrate, heating the substrate and exposing the heated substrate to a plasma that removes the halogen-containing residue.
摘要:
A method of photoresist removal is described. A substrate is located in a processing chamber. A mixture of gases is excited, the mixture comprising a majority component of a reducing process gas and a minority component of between 0.1% and 10% by volume of an oxidizing process gas. Reactive gas species are thereby generated. A photoresist layer with an exposed dielectric layer on the substrate in the chamber is then exposed to the reactive gas mixture to selectively remove the photoresist layer from the dielectric layer.

Methods for monitoring and detecting optical emissions while performing photoresist stripping and removal of residues from a substrate or a film stack on a substrate are provided herein. In one embodiment, a method is provided that includes positioning a substrate comprising a photoresist layer into a processing chamber; processing the photoresist layer using a multiple step plasma process; and monitoring the plasma for a hydrogen optical emission during the multiple step plasma process; wherein the multiple step plasma process includes removing a bulk of the photoresist layer using a bulk removal step; and switching to an overetch step in response to the monitored hydrogen optical emission.
摘要:
A substrate cleaning apparatus has a remote source to remotely energize a hydrogen-containing gas to form an energized gas having a first ratio of ionic hydrogen-containing species to radical hydrogen-containing species. The apparatus has a process chamber with a substrate support, an ion filter to filter the remotely energized gas to form a filtered energized gas having a second ratio of ionic hydrogen-containing species to radical hydrogen-containing species, the second ratio being different than the first ratio, and a gas distributor to introduce the filtered energized gas into the chamber.
