ABSTRACT:
A method for removing a resist layer, particularly in via holes, includes plasma to remove organic compounds, rinsing the device in deionized water, and sputtering with argon to remove inorganic compounds. The order of rinsing and sputtering can be reversed. These methods avoid the use of acids and industrial solvents.
