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. | The ashing rate is related to the gas mix, usually expressed as percentage of nitrogen of the total amount of gas.
