Zusammenfassung:A method of reducing foreign material concentrations in an etch chamber having inner chamber walls is described. The method includes the step of etching a work piece in the etch chamber such that reaction products from the work piece having one or more elements form a first layer of reaction products that partially adhere to the inner chamber walls. A species is introduced into the etch chamber that increases the adhesion of the first layer of reaction products to the inner chamber walls.
