ABSTRACT:
Resist masks exposed to high-dose implantation processes may be efficiently removed on the basis of a combination of a plasma-based etch process and a wet chemical etch recipe, wherein both etch steps may include a highly selective etch chemistry in order to minimize substrate material loss and thus dopant loss in sophisticated semiconductor devices. The first plasma-based etch step may provide under-etched areas of the resist mask, which may then be efficiently removed on the basis of the wet chemical etch process.
