What it is

General reference — not yet source-verified

Ashers are specialized semiconductor equipment that remove photoresist layers from wafers using oxygen plasma, operating at low temperature to avoid damage to underlying structures.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

In a semiconductor fabrication line, ashers are used after etch or ion implantation steps where photoresist becomes hardened and must be stripped away cleanly before subsequent processing. The Canon MAS 8220 follows dry-etch equipment or implanters and precedes wet-clean or lithography steps, ensuring the wafer surface is free of organic residues.
