Abstract

Photoresist on a metal is removed with less oxidation of the metal surface by the invented ashing. During process, the matching of oxygen gas ratio and wafer temperature under downstream plasma which means no RF bias plasma is controlled for oxidation amount not to depend on ashing time with required photo resist rate in manufacturing.
