Like Grogan said, use different solutions and then move the wafers from one solution to the other. If it is still not the result that you want, then use CARO, which is a mixture of H2O2 and H2SO4 in the ratio 1:3. That will be able to remove all residual stuff. But it is dangerous a to work with CARO when not in a proper clean room environment. So you should to discuss with your lab supervisor to determine if it is ok to do CARO in open air.

After stripping, I see small particles of resist lying on the wafer. Does anyone have a good method of stripping the wafers or cleaning the stripped wafers to make it particle free. The environment I work is not a clean room and will not be particle free. But I am trying to reduce the particles on the wafers as much as humanly possible. Regards, Pavan Samudrala
