Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention discloses a method of reducing contamination in a CVD chamber. The method comprises cleaning the CVD chamber with first cleaning gases containing NF 3 ; removing the particles in the CVD chamber with second cleaning gases containing N 2 ; further removing the particles in the CVD chamber with third cleaning gases containing O 2 ; and seasoning an amorphous carbon layer with mixed gases containing C 2 H 2 and an inert gas.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of reducing contamination in a CVD chamber, the CVD chamber comprises a wafer heater made of AlN material, the method comprising the steps of: Step S 01 , cleaning the CVD chamber with first cleaning gases containing NF 3 ; wherein the NF 3 is excited into fluorine plasma through ionization, the fluorine plasma reacts with coatings on interior surfaces of the chamber and the heater to generate a fluorine-containing gas, which is exhausted by…
