Zusammenfassung:A gas mixture for treating a substrate in a substrate processing system includes hydrogen fluoride gas, a vapor of an alcohol, an additive consisting of a base, and a carrier gas. The gas mixture can be used to treat high aspect ratio (HAR) structures arranged on a surface of a substrate. A surface of the substrate may be spin rinsed using a first rinsing liquid. The first rinsing liquid is spun off from the surface of the substrate. The gas mixture is directed onto the surface of the substrate after the first rinsing liquid is dispensed.
