Abstract

This work deals with the application of ozonated water for the BEOL stripping of DUV-resists. For this purpose analytical techniques for the quantification of molecular O3 in the water as well as methods for the non-destructive analysis of resists on wafers have been studied. The aim is to be able to determine the concentrations of O3, its decomposition, under the influence of various parameters, and to correlate these data with the polymer structure of the resist on the wafer and the efficiency of resist removal.
