Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor manufacturing, in particular to a method for removing photoresist. Background technique
[0002] In the manufacture of semiconductor integrated circuits, the photoresist layer is spin-coated on the semiconductor substrate through the photolithography process, and the etching or ion implantation area is defined after the photoresist layer is exposed and developed, and after the etching or ion implantation is completed , removing the photoresist on the semiconductor substrate.
[0003] Commonly used photoresist removal methods include dry plasma etching and wet cleaning.
[0004] US Patent No. US 6,630,406 discloses a method for removing photoresist by dry plasma etching. In the dry plasma etching process, the method of generating plasma acts on the working gas, such as oxygen, hydrogen or fluorine-containing gas, by using an excitation source such as microwave or radio frequency to ionize t...
