The ashing rate is related to the total gas flow rate during processing.  
The ashing rate is related to the total gas flow rate during processing.  


Test using a single 100 mm wafer in the center of the process chamber shows that a total flow rate of 200 sccm gives the highest ashing rate.
Testing found that 200 sccm gives the highest ashing rate for both processing single substrates and when processing a full boat with 25 substrates.
