Abstract

Provided is a method of detecting photoresist scums and photoresist residues. A carrier is provided. The carrier has a photoresist layer with opening patterns therein. A plasma etching process is performed to the opening patterns of the photoresist layer. Charges are injected to the opening patterns of the photoresist layer. Whether a photoresist scum or residue is present in at least one of the opening patterns is detected.
