Hi;

If during the etching process inside the chamber of ICP-RIE is hotter than
critical temperature of resist, your resist be strong. Also you could not
remove the resist. Maybe you can control the cooling water of your
instrument. Or you can try to etch with short period(For example 3 minutes.)
Other reason can be thickness of your resist.

Subject: [mems-talk] PR removal after ICP RIE etching

Hi!

I have problem removing photo resist after using it as mask for
ICP-RIE etching. I tried Acetone, Acetone+Sonication, PR stripper,
Asher. Nothing is working. Did anyone face this problem before. If
anyone has any solution for this problem please tell me.

Thanks
Satish
