    摘要: An apparatus for removing a residue from a surface of an object located on a support region within a processing chamber is disclosed. The apparatus comprises means for performing a dual-pressure cleaning process and means for performing a rinsing process. The means for performing a dual-pressure cleaning process comprises: means for pressurizing the processing chamber to a first pressure; means for introducing a cleaning chemistry into the processing chamber; means for recirculating the cleaning chemistry within the processing chamber for a first period of time; means for increasing a pressure of the processing chamber to a second pressure; and means for recirculating the cleaning chemistry within the processing chamber for a second period of time.

    摘要: A method and system for processing a substrate in a film removal system. The method includes providing the substrate in a substrate chamber of a film removal system, where the substrate has a micro-feature containing a dielectric film on a sidewall of the micro-feature and a photoresist film covering a portion the dielectric film, and performing a first film removal process using supercritical CO2 processing to remove the portion of the dielectric film not covered by the photoresist film. Following the first film removal process, a second film removal process using supercritical CO2 processing can be performed to remove the photoresist film. Alternately, wet processing can be used to perform one of the first film removal process or the second film removal process.

    摘要: Method and apparatus for holding a wafer having a wafer dimension during processing, the vacuum chuck comprising a concave wafer platen configured force the wafer into intimate contact with the wafer platen and provide a seal therebetween when high pressure is applied to the wafer. The wafer platen for preventing matter from entering between the wafer and vacuum chuck. A groove configured in the wafer platen applies vacuum to the underside of the wafer. A plenum configured in the platen provides pressure for a predetermined amount of time between the wafer and the vacuum chuck to disengage the wafer.
