    Abstract: Compositions, apparatus and methods for removal of unwanted deposited materials, e.g., nitrides such as silicon nitrides, from substrates. In one implementation, such removal is carried out with a composition including (i) a halide, e.g., NF3, ClF3, F2, XeF2, CF4, or other fluorocarbon species of the formula CxFy, wherein x and y have stoichiometrically compatible values, and (ii) a nitrogen source, optionally wherein at least the halide cleaning agent in the cleaning composition has been subjected to plasma generation to form a plasma. The use of relatively inexpensive nitrogen sources enables the amount of costly halide to be reduced in applications such as cleaning of internal surfaces and components of microelectronic product manufacturing process tool chambers.

    Abstract: A sensor with an attenuated drift characteristic, including a layer structure in which a sensing layer has a layer of diffusional barrier material on at least one of its faces. The sensor may for example be constituted as a hydrogen gas sensor including a palladium/yttrium layer structure formed on a micro-hotplate base, with a chromium barrier layer between the yttrium layer and the micro-hotplate, and with a tantalum barrier layer between the yttrium layer and an overlying palladium protective layer. The gas sensor is useful for detection of a target gas in environments susceptible to generation or incursion of such gas, and achieves substantial (e.g., >90%) reduction of signal drift from the gas sensor in extended operation, relative to a corresponding gas sensor lacking the diffusional barrier structure of the invention.

    Abstract: A gas detector for detecting a fluoro gas species in a gaseous environment containing same, e.g., an effluent from a semiconductor processing tool that employs corrosive fluoro species such as HF, NF3, etc. for etch cleaning. The gas detector preferably employs an elongated nickel-containing gas sensor element that can be vertically mounted on a fluoro-resistant support structure. Since the nickel-containing gas sensor element is sensitive to the fluoro species and is also electrically conductive, it can function both as a sensing component and a heat source when elevated temperature sensing is required. Vertical mounting of such elongated gas sensor element on the support structure significantly improves the signal strength, reduces the response time, minimizes the footprint of the gas detector, and provides structural flexibility for accommodating thermal expansion/contraction of the elongated gas sensor element.
