Dear Evelyn, For descum of S1813; 300 W, 300 mT, 30 secs works well. The lower powers should also work if you increase the duration. You can also try 150 W, 300 mT, 1 min. For ashing of S1813; you may increase the power level to 500 W if possible. You can increase the pressure to 600 mT. The duration may change according to the thickness of the photoresist, but 30 minutes will be OK if you apply 300 W. Good luck, Regards, Kagan TOPALLI, Ph. D.
