  • Patent number: 8889563
    Abstract: An aspect of the invention is to provide a method and apparatus for etching the silicon oxide layer of a semiconductor substrate, whereby the processing time for cleaning or rinsing, as well as any undesired aftereffects by residual hydrofluoric acid, may be reduced, in using the dry etching method involving the use of dense carbon dioxide that contains hydrofluoric acid, during the manufacturing process of a micro-electronic device.

  • Patent number: 8790470
    Abstract: Provided herein are etching, cleaning and drying methods using a supercritical fluid, and a chamber system for conducting the same. The etching method includes etching the material layer using a supercritical carbon dioxide in which an etching chemical is dissolved, and removing an etching by-product created from a reaction between the material layer and the etching chemical using a supercritical carbon dioxide in which a cleaning chemical is dissolved. Methods of manufacturing a semiconductor device are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20110117752
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system for removing a sacrificial layer from an MEMS structure or from any other semiconductor substrate that includes a sacrificial layer. The above etching method and system use densified carbon dioxide, fluorine compounds, and co-solvents as the processing fluid and are capable of removing the sacrificial layer in a short period of time without incurring damage on the structural layer or incurring stiction between structures. In addition, the above etching method and system do not create etching residue and thus do not require a separate cleaning process.

  • Publication number: 20090288689
    Abstract: Disclosed is an ultrasonic cleaning system for removing a high dose ion-implanted photoresist in supercritical carbon dioxide. Specifically, the ultrasonic cleaning system includes one or more ultrasonic horns mounted inside a high pressure reactor to be operated in supercritical carbon dioxide and having a cross-section enabling uniform processing of an overall surface of a wafer, so that ultrasonic waves can be superposed in the high pressure reactor and uniformly distributed over the surface of a support provided as a cleaning target in a cleaning bath, thereby minimizing damage to a fine pattern on the surface of the support while effectively removing a high dose ion-implanted photoresist.
