<p>A wafer (11) is conveyed in a vacuum from an Al etching chamber after the Al etching and is fed into an ashing chamber (15) without coming into contact with the atmosphere. After the wafer (11) was conveyed, CH3OH gas of 200 sccm is first introduced by a valve (30a) and a pressure is adjusted to 1.2 Torr. Subsequently, a microwave current of 450 mA is supplied, thereby forming a plasma. The wafer (11) is processed by a down-flow system of a CH3OH plasma. The supply of the CH3OH gas is stopped by closing the valve (30a). Next, oxygen gas of 400 sccm is introduced by opening a valve (30b). A microwave current of 450 mA is supplied at a pressure of 1.2 Torr, thereby forming a plasma. A resist on the wafer 11 is ashed and eliminated by a down-flow process of an oxygen plasma. By those processes, the corrosion prevention and the resist ashing can be perfectly executed. <IMAGE></p> |
