Descum of AZ 5214E on 100 mm wafers. The descum process was tested for single substrates, as well as 3 substrates, placed vertically in the glass boat. For the 3 substrates only the center substrate was used for testing, the front and back wafers were used as dummy wafers. | |||

Plasma Asher 3: Descum
The user manual(s), quality control procedure(s) and results and contact information can be found in LabManager - requires login
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).
Ashing of AZ MiR701 resist:
You can use two different descum process developments: you can either change power settings or processing chamber pressure.
Testing different power settings:

Recipe settings:
- O2 flow: 5 sccm
- N2 flow: 0
- Pressure: 0.2 mbar
- Power: Varied
Experiment parameters:

Testing different pressure settings:

Recipe settings:

Descum of AZ 5214E on 100 mm wafers. The descum process was tested for single substrates, as well as 3 substrates, placed vertically in the glass boat. For the 3 substrates only the center substrate was used for testing, the front and back wafers were used as dummy wafers.
