Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for conditioning a semiconductor chamber component may include passivating the chamber component with an oxidizer. The method may also include performing a number of chamber process operation cycles in a semiconductor processing chamber housing the chamber component until the process is stabilized. The number of chamber operation cycles to stabilize the process may be less than 10% of the amount otherwise used with conventional techniques.
