    Abstract: A method of removing sidewall polymer fence of the dielectric layer, which is a wet strip process using acidic SC1 and CR solutions, and SC1 solution is applied before CR solution. SC1 solution substantially comprises ammonium hydroxide, sulfuric acid and water for removing sidewall polymer fence, and CR solution substantially comprises sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide for removing photo-resist. The key of the wet strip process of the invention is that SC1 solution is applied at a low temperature for reducing the oxide loss. The wet strip process of the invention can completely remove the sidewall polymer fence and reduce the oxide loss of the dielectric layer.
