Shinichirou KATSUKI has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9881818
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, includes: a preparation step, a flow step, and a processing step. The preparation step prepares an etching solution by dissolving titanium in an ammonia-hydrogen peroxide solution in advance before use of the ammonia-hydrogen peroxide solution for etching. The flow step flows the etching solution after the preparation step so that a concentration of the etching solution in a processing bath is constant. The processing step etches a metal film on a semiconductor wafer with the etching solution by putting in the processing bath the semiconductor wafer having a resist film and the metal film after the flow step is started. The metal film is preferably formed of titanium, and a temperature of the etching solution is preferably adjusted by flowing the etching solution so that the etching solution flows via a temperature controller.
