{{:Specific Process Knowledge/Lithography/Strip/plasmaAsher03}}
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:  
{{:Specific Process Knowledge/Lithography/Strip/plasmaAsher04}}
*O<sub>2</sub>: 400 ml/min
*N<sub>2</sub>: 70 ml/min
*Power: 1000 W


{{:Specific Process Knowledge/Lithography/Strip/plasmaAsher05}}


A typical descum process in plasma asher 1 or 2:
{{:Specific Process Knowledge/Lithography/Strip/resistStrip}}
*O<sub>2</sub>: 70 ml/min
*N<sub>2</sub>: 70 ml/min
*Power: 150 W
*Time : 10 min


{{:Specific Process Knowledge/Lithography/Strip/wetBench06and07}}


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]]
Product name: Diener Pico Plasma Asher<br>
Year of purchase: 2014
The Plasma Asher 3: Descum is dedicated for resist descum, i.e. removal of remains resist traces after development. It has a small chamber, so you can only load a single 100 mm substrate, or a few smaller pieces.
In this machine, only Oxygen is used for processing.
<b>Typical process parameters:</b><br>
Process: Photoresist descumming<br>
Pressure: 0.2-0.8 mbar<br>
Gas: 45 sccm O<sub>2</sub><br>
Power: 100%<br>
Time: 1 -10 minutes (depending on photoresist type and thickness)<br>
Other materials have not been tested.

=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.
