摘要:
In the fabrication of semiconductor devices, a method of forming a fine pattern on a semiconductor substrate includes the steps of exposing and developing a photoresist deposited on a film of a semiconductor substrate in order to remove selected portions of the photoresist, etching portions of the film left exposed when the selected portions of the photoresist are removed, and subsequently removing any of the photoresist remaining on the semiconductor substrate with dimethylacetamide, or a combination of monoethanolamine and dimethylsulfoxide. Such stripping solutions are capable of removing photoresists in the Deep-UV group as well as the conventionally used photoresists in the I-line group.

摘要:
A thinner composition for removing photoresist, a rework method for wafers, and a method of manufacturing semiconductor devices are provided. The thinner composition is applied for removing excess photoresist coated on the edge side or back side of wafer. The thinner may be a mixture of ethyl lactate (EL), ethyl-3-ethoxy propionate (EEP), and .tau.-butyro lactone (GBL), or a mixture of ethyl lactate (EL), and ethyl-3-ethoxy propionate (EEP), or a mixture of ethyl lactate (EL), and ethyl-3-ethoxy propionate (EEP). The rework process is carried out, using the above thinner compositions, on the wafers having excess coated photoresist due to an etching failure. The method of manufacturing semiconductor devices includes a rinsing step for removing the excess coated photoresist on the edge side or back side of wafer by using the above thinner compositions.

A method for preparing a sample for its optical analysis in the manufacture of a semiconductor device includes the step of drying a liquid formed on the semiconductor wafer until the concentration of contaminants contained in the liquid is of a sufficiently high level for the optical analyzer to adequately detect the contaminants. The liquid may be of a film formed on the wafer and dissolved into liquid drops, or deionized water or various chemicals to which the wafer is exposed during a manufacturing process. The apparatus includes a chuck for bringing the wafer into and out of a processing chamber, a guide for guiding the chuck, a piston cylinder for driving the chuck along the guide to a processing position, and a gas supplying system which directs nitrogen gas onto the wafer for drying the liquid. Appropriate controls are provided so that the apparatus can be operated automatically or manually.
