In this embodiment, peeling refers to using a peeling liquid to remove the protective layer pattern 611, and the peeling liquid used is a mixture of acetone and ethanol.
在现有技术中,导体化工艺完成后,使用灰化工艺去除保护层,灰化工作中氧气的使用会可能导致有缘层的导体化效果发生变化,影响导体化区域与源漏极的接触电阻,本申请中采用剥离的方法去除保护层图案611,可以避免导体化后进行灰化而导致电阻率上升的问题。In the prior art, after the conductorization process is completed, an ashing process is used to remove the protective layer. The use of oxygen in the ashing work may cause changes in the conductorization effect of the boundary layer and affect the contact resistance between the conductorized area and the source and drain.
