Oxygen plasma stripping of photoresist from bipolar integrated circuit wafers - process development

The development of a plasma strip process, in which an oxygen plasma removes photoresist films from etched silicon wafers, is described. The ultimate objective was to demonstrate that dry plasm stripping is a reliable, cost-effective, production-compatible process that does not compromise product re...
