=Decommisioned tools=
<span style="color:red">Plasma asher 1 was decommissioned 2024-12-02.</span>


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.

==Plasma Asher 3: Descum==
[[image:2017-03-15 13.12.45.jpg|350x350px|thumb|Plasma Asher 3: Descum is placed A-5]]
 
The Plasma Asher 3: Descum dedicated for resist descum i.e. removal of remains resist traces after development. It has a small chamber, so you can only load one 4 inch substrate ad time or few smaller pieces.
 
In this machine, only O2 and N2 gases are used for processes.
 
The typical process parameters when operating the equipment:
 
*Photeresist descum
Pressure: 0.2 - 0.8mbar
Gas: O2
Power: 50% - 100%
Time: 1 -10 min., depending on photoresist type and thickness
 
The other materials have not been tested yet.

=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.
