*Resist stripping
Descum of different resists, AZ5214E, AZ701 MiR and AZ2020 nLOF, on a single 100mm wafer was tested. Wafer was placed vertically in the middle of glass carrier.

Minor temperature rise during processing was observed, but not more than 5 degrees. Starting chamber pressure was around 0.5 mbar.

Plasma Asher 3 is specifically used for controlled descum process after lithography. Please note that you only can process a single 100 mm wafer, or one small sample, at a time.
The plasma asher is equipped with 2 gaslines: oxygen and nitrogen, but all standard processes use only oxygen (as recommended by Diener).

You can use two different descum process developments: you can either change power settings or processing chamber pressure.
