ABSTRACT:
A two-step process is disclosed for stripping photoresist material from a substrate, wherein the substrate includes a low k dielectric material underlying the photoresist material and a polymer film overlying both the photoresist material and the low k dielectric material. The first step of the two-step process uses an oxygen plasma to remove the polymer film. The second step of the two-step process uses an ammonia plasma to remove the photoresist material, wherein the second step commences after completion of the first step. Each step of the two-step photoresist stripping process is respectively defined by particular values for process parameters including chemistry, temperature, pressure, gas flow rate, radio frequency power and frequency, and duration.
