Typical process time for stripping in plasma asher 1 or 2:
*1.5 µm AZ 5214E resist film: ~15 min
*10 µm AZ 4562 resist film: ~45 min
 
Typical process parameters:

Be sure to wait for chamber to cool down to room temperature, before runinng descum processes in plasma asher 1 or 2. At a load of 2 Fused silica wafers, the amount of resist removed will be 10 - 1500 nm.

==Process gas ratio for plasma asher 4 & 5==
[[File:PA_gas_mix_v3.png|320px|thumb|Ashing rate as function of gas mix ratio when processing a single 100 mm wafer and when processing a full boat with 25 wafers. The green area (~50% N<sub>2</sub>) covers the optimum range for both situations.|right]]
The ashing rate is related to the gas mix, usually expressed as percentage of nitrogen of the total amount of gas. Process development tests found that a gas mix of 50% nitrogen gives the highest ashing rate for both processing single substrates and when processing a full boat with 25 substrates.
 
Please note that the ashing rate for a full boat is approximately ten times slower, than the processing time for a single substrate.

The ashing rate is related to the total gas flow rate during processing. Process development tests found that 200 sccm gives the highest ashing rate for both processing single substrates and when processing a full boat with 25 substrates. The experiments indicate that the gas flow rate has only a minor impact on the ashing rate.
 
Please note that the ashing rate for a full boat is approximately ten times slower, than the processing time for a single substrate.

==Comparison of ashing rate between substrate sizes for plasma asher 4 & 5==
=Decommisioned tools=
[[File:PA_comparison_v2.png|320px|thumb|Comparison of ashing rate with different sibstrate sizes. Process was done using a single substrate placed in the middle of the glass boat, which was placed in the center of the chamber.|right]]
The ashing rate is slightly higher for 100 mm substrates, but there is no difference between a 150 mm wafer and a 200 mm wafer.
 
All substrate sizes seems to follow the same pattern; ashing rate increases with a higher percentage nitrogen in the gas mix and also with a higher chamber pressure. The total gas flow has only little influence on the ashing rate, but slightly favors the lower flow rate of 200 sccm, similar to previous experiment results.
 
<br clear="all" />
 
Investigating the influence of the process parameters, it is clear that the gas mix and the chamber pressure has a sig nificant inpact on the ashing rate, while the gas flow has only little effect:

Plasma asher 5 can be used for almost every material, but if you have any doubt if your materials are compatible/allowed in plasma asher 5, feel free to ask the lithography group at Nanolab.

=Resist Strip=
[[Image:Resist_strip.jpg|300x300px|thumb|Resist strip bench in D-3]]
This resist strip is only for wafers without metal and SU-8.
There are one Remover 1165 bath for stripping and one IPA bath for rinsing.
'''Here are the main rules for resist strip use:'''
*Place the wafers in a wafer holder and put them in the first bath for 10 min, this time is depending how much resist you have on the surface.
*After the strip rinse your wafers in the IPA bath for 2-3 min.
*Rinse your wafers for 4-5 min. in running water after stripping.
