Zusammenfassung:Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to an integrated substrate processing system for cleaning a substrate surface and subsequently performing an epitaxial deposition process thereon. A processing system includes a film formation chamber, a transfer chamber coupled to the film formation chamber, and an oxide removal chamber coupled to the transfer chamber, the oxide removal chamber having a substrate support. The processing system includes a controller configured to introduce a process gas mixture into the oxide removal chamber, the process gas mixture including a fluorine-containing gas and a vapor including at least one of water, an alcohol, an organic acid, or combinations thereof. The controller is configured to expose a substrate positioned on the substrate support to the process gas mixture, thereby removing an oxide film from the substrate.
