Zusammenfassung:A method of cleaning a substrate surface from a crystal nucleus in which the substrate surface is held in a condition under which a crystal growth is accelerated with respect to normal clean room and normal air conditions. In particular, light having a wavelength to induce a crystal growth is irradiated and, additionally, at least one reactive gas is fed at a higher concentration than under normal clean room and normal air conditions. After placing the substrate under these conditions, the grown crystals are removed, for example, by rinsing with water. As a consequence, the crystal nucleus is removed from the substrate surface.
