Solvent free photoresist strip and residue removal processing for post etching of low-k films

摘要

A photoresist or a residue of the photoresist may by removed by the hydrogen and water plasma mixture. The process may be performed at a temperature range between about 150° C. and about 450° C., preferably about 250° C., and a power range between about 500 W and about 3000 W, preferably about 1400 W.
