The system further includes a plasma reaction chamber configured to house a substrate comprising a Parylene coating, wherein the plasma reaction chamber is configured to expose surfaces of the Parylene coating on the substrate to the plasma, wherein the plasma is configured to remove portions of the Parylene coating on the substrate. The system further includes a masking fixture including at least one opening and configured to shield areas of the substrate from plasma ashing, and further including a gasket between the masking fixture and the substrate. | 2021-12-30 |
20210407774 | METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE, SUBSTRATE PROCESSING METHOD, SUBSTRATE PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - There is provided a technique that includes: performing a set a plurality of times, the set including: (a) loading at least one substrate into a process container; (b) performing a process of forming a nitride film on the at least one substrate by supplying a film-forming gas to the at least one substrate supported by a support in the process container; (c) unloading the processed at least one substrate from an interior of the process container; and (d) supplying an oxidizing gas into the process container from which the processed at least one substrate has been unloaded so as to oxidize one part of the nitride film formed inside the process container in (b) into an oxide film and maintain another part of the nitride film, which is different from the one part of the nitride film, as it is without oxidizing the another part. | 2021-12-30 |
