Abstract:
A method of cleaning a chamber of a plasma processing device with radicals includes creating a plasma within a remote plasma source which is separated from the chamber, the plasma including radicals and ions, cleaning the chamber by allowing radicals to enter the chamber from the remote plasma source while preventing the majority of the ions created in the remote plasma source from entering the chamber, detecting a DC bias developed on a component of the chamber during cleaning; and using the detected DC bias to determine an end-point of the cleaning and, on determination of the end-point, to stop the cleaning.
