ABSTRACT:
A method for removing mottled etch in a semiconductor fabricating process, prevents mottled etch from being generated after etching, by performing ashing using an oxide plasma, prior to performing wet etching using a photoresist pattern. The method for removing the mottled etch includes the steps of forming a gate oxide film on a semiconductor substrate; forming a photoresist pattern on the substrate; performing ashing using an oxygen plasma; and removing the oxide film consequently by wet etching, the oxide film being opened by the pattern.
