ABSTRACT:
A method of stripping an integrated circuit (IC) structure having a photoresist material and an organosilicate glass (OSG) material is described. The method comprises feeding a nitrous oxide (N2O) gas into a reactor, generating a plasma in the reactor and stripping the photoresist. The stripping process provides a high selectivity between the photoresist and the OSG material.
