Method for enhancing adhesion between reworked photoresist and underlying oxynitride film

摘要

A method for enhancing adhesion between a reworked photoresist and an underlying oxynitride film. A photoresist pattern layer is formed on an oxynitride layer overlying a substrate. The photoresist pattern layer is removed by acidic solution or oxygen-containing plasma. A surface treatment is performed on the oxynitride layer using a development solution to repair the damaged oxynitride layer due to removing the overlying photoresist pattern layer. A reworked photoresist pattern layer is formed on the oxynitride layer.
