Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a method for minimizing electrostatic charges in a semiconductor substrate. The method includes depositing photoresist on a semiconductor substrate to form a photoresist layer on the semiconductor substrate. The photoresist layer is exposed to radiation. The photoresist layer is developed using a developer solution. The semiconductor substrate is cleaned with a first cleaning liquid to wash the developer solution from the photoresist layer. A tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) solution is applied to the semiconductor substrate to reduce charges accumulated in the semiconductor substrate.

Abstract: A photoresist removal method is provided. The photoresist removal method includes analyzing the process status of each of a number of semiconductor substrate models undergoing a tested plasma ash process by a residue gas analyzer. The tested plasma ash processes for the semiconductor substrate models utilize a plurality of tested recipes. The photoresist removal method further includes selecting one of the tested recipes as a process recipe based on the analysis results from the residue gas analyzer and at least one expected performance criterion. In addition, the photoresist removal method includes performing a plasma ash process on a semiconductor substrate according to the process recipe to remove a photoresist layer from the semiconductor substrate.
