  • Patent number: 11664242
    Abstract: A cleaning solution production system is for cleaning a semiconductor substrate. The system includes a pressure tank, a plasma reaction tank configured to form a plasma in gas bubbles suspended in a decompressed liquid obtained from the pressure tank to thereby generate radical species in the decompressed liquid, a storage tank configured to store a cleaning solution containing the radical species generated in the plasma reaction tank, and a nozzle configured to supply the cleaning solution from the storage tank to a semiconductor substrate.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10410874
    Abstract: In a plasma processing method, a substrate is loaded onto a substrate electrode within a chamber, the substrate having an object layer to be etched thereon. A plasma generating power output is applied to form plasma within the chamber. A first bias power output is applied to the substrate electrode to perform a first etch stage on the object layer. A second bias power output having a nonsinusoidal voltage waveform is applied to the substrate electrode to perform a second etch stage on the object layer.
