摘要:
Methods and systems are disclosed for reducing resist residue defects in a semiconductor manufacturing process. The methods comprise appropriate adjustment of hardware, substrate, resist, developer, and process variables in order to remove resist residues from a semiconductor substrate structure in order to reduce resist residue defects therein, including special vapor prime and development operations.
摘要:
Methods and systems are disclosed for reducing resist residue defects in a semiconductor manufacturing process. The methods comprise appropriate adjustment of hardware, substrate, resist, developer, and process variables in order to remove resist residues from a semiconductor substrate structure in order to reduce resist residue defects therein. The method may comprise employing an anti reflective coating prior to applying a photo resist coating in a semiconductor manufacturing process. Also disclosed are methodologies for exhausting resist residue during development via a rinsing fluid.
