A method of resist stripping for use during fabrication of semiconductor devices. A semiconductor substrate with a resist material formed thereon, such as a silicon wafer, is positioned in a sealed chamber in communication with a plasma generating source. A gaseous material which includes a reducing agent is passed through the plasma generating source to produce a plasma stream The plasma stream is directed at the semiconductor substrate for a predetermined period of time to remove the resist material from the semiconductor substrate. A reducing environment is produced in the sealed chamber by the plasma stream, which can passivate and strip the resist material simultaneously.
