Abstract

A method for removing a photoresist is disclosed. First, a substrate including a patterned photoresist is provided. Second, an ion implantation is carried out on the substrate. Then, a non-oxidative pre-treatment is carried out on the substrate. The non-oxidative pre-treatment provides hydrogen, a carrier gas and plasma. Later, a photoresist-stripping step is carried out so that the photoresist can be completely removed.
