Step 5: Removal of Photoresist
Photoresist are removed by treating the wafer with
acidic or basic solution.

Step 6: Acid Etching
SiO2 is selectively removed from areas of wafer that are not
covered by photoresist by using hydrofluoric acid.

p-well CMOS process
The fabrication of p-well cmos process is similar
to n-well process except that p-wells acts as
substrate for the n-devices within the parent n-
substrate
Advantages of n-well process
n-well CMOS are superior to p-well because of
lower substrate bias effects on transistor threshold
voltage
lower parasitic capacitances associated with source
and drain region
Latch-up problems can be considerably reduced by
using a low resistivity epitaxial p-type substrate
However n-well process degrades the performance
of poorly performing p-type transistor

INVERTER- STICK DIAGRAM
Two horizontal wires are used for connection with VSS and
VDD. This is done in metal2, but metal1can be use instead.
Step 1
Step 2
Two vertical wires (pdiff and ndiff) are used to represent the
p-transistor (yellow) and n-transistor (green).
Step 3
The gates of the transistors are joined with a
polysilicon wire, and connected to the input.
Step 4
. The drains of two transistor are then connected with
metal1 and joined to the output. There cannot be direct
connection from n-transistor to p-transistors.
Step 5
The sources of the transistors are next connected to
VSS and VDD with metal1. Notice that vias are used, not
contacts
metal1 is used instead of metal2 to connect VSS
and VDD supply
