Abstract:
Embodiments of the disclosure generally relate to a method for dry stripping a boron carbide layer deposited on a semiconductor substrate. In one embodiment, the method includes loading the substrate with the boron carbide layer into a pressure vessel, exposing the substrate to a processing gas comprising an oxidizer at a pressure between about 500 Torr and 60 bar, heating the pressure vessel to a temperature greater than a condensation point of the processing gas and removing one or more products of a reaction between the processing gas and the boron carbide layer from the pressure vessel.

Claim (Index 6):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the substrate are exposed to an amount of oxidizer in excess of an amount of oxidizer required to completely react with an amount of boron carbide deposited on the substrate.
