SACRIFICIAL-FILM REMOVAL METHOD AND SUBSTRATE PROCESSING DEVICE

摘要

The present invention is a sacrificial-film removal method of removing a sacrificial film from a surface of a substrate provided with a plurality of struts and the sacrificial film embedded between the plurality of struts, including: a wet etching step where the sacrificial film is removed to its halfway depth by supplying an etchant to the surface of the substrate; a rinse step where a residue adhering to the surface of the substrate is washed out by supplying a rinsing liquid to the surface of the substrate after the wet etching step; a drying step where a liquid component on the surface of the substrate is removed after the rinse step; and a dry etching step where the sacrificial film remaining on the surface of the substrate is removed by supplying an etching gas to the surface of the substrate after the drying step.

1. A sacrificial-film removal method of removing a sacrificial film from a surface of a substrate provided with a plurality of struts and the sacrificial film embedded between the plurality of struts, including:
a wet etching step where the sacrificial film is removed to its halfway depth by supplying an etchant to the surface of the substrate; a rinse step where a residue adhering to the surface of the substrate is washed out by supplying a rinsing liquid to the surface of the substrate after the wet etching step; a drying step where a liquid component on the surface of the substrate is removed after the rinse step; and a dry etching step where the sacrificial film remaining on the surface of the substrate is removed by supplying an etching gas to the surface of the substrate after the drying step.
