Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductors, in particular to a high-temperature water vapor and ozone mixed jet cleaning system and method. Background technique
[0002] In modern CMOS devices, almost all substrate structures are formed via ion implantation. The energetic ions can damage the photoresist, making it difficult to remove. After implantation, these ions may exist as oxide layers, sub-oxide layers, or organic compounds. These energetic ions also transform the photoresist surface into a carbonaceous layer of diamond-type and graphite-type mixtures. The carbonization process therefore makes removal of implanted photoresist challenging. For the removal of implanted photoresist on silicon, alkaline or acidic fluorine-based solutions can be used, but it will cause loss of the underlying silicon; plasma removal technology can also be used, but the charge generated by the non-uniform plasma will damage the crystal.
