Cleaning of native oxide with hydrogen-containing radicals

A substrate cleaning apparatus has a remote source to remotely energize a hydrogen-containing gas to form an energized gas having a first ratio of ionic hydrogen-containing species to radical hydrogen-containing species. The apparatus has a process chamber with a substrate support, an ion filter to...

Zusammenfassung:A substrate cleaning apparatus has a remote source to remotely energize a hydrogen-containing gas to form an energized gas having a first ratio of ionic hydrogen-containing species to radical hydrogen-containing species. The apparatus has a process chamber with a substrate support, an ion filter to filter the remotely energized gas to form a filtered energized gas having a second ratio of ionic hydrogen-containing species to radical hydrogen-containing species, the second ratio being different than the first ratio, and a gas distributor to introduce the filtered energized gas into the chamber.
