    摘要: A cleaning method is provided. In the cleaning method, residues of elements of a group for a common semiconductor material in a chamber are removed with plasma of a halogen-containing gas. Residues of metal elements of groups 12 and 13 and groups 14 and 15 in the chamber are removed with plasma of a hydrocarbon-containing gas. A C-containing material in the chamber is removed with plasma of an O-containing gas. Further, the removing with the plasma of the halogen-containing gas, the removing with the plasma of the hydrocarbon-containing gas, and the removing with the plasma of the O-containing gas are performed in that order or the removing with the plasma of the hydrocarbon-containing gas, the removing with the plasma of the O-containing gas, and the removing with the plasma of the halogen-containing gas are performed in that order X times where X≥1.

    摘要: A particle removal method includes loading a particle attracting member with a coating layer into a processing chamber of a processing apparatus. The processing chamber is configured to perform a lithography exposure process on a semiconductor wafer. The method also includes fixing the particle attracting member on a reticle holder in the processing chamber in a cleaning cycle, attracting particles in the processing chamber by the coating layer of the particle attracting member due to a potential difference between the particles and the coating layer, and loading the particle attracting member with the coating layer and the attracted particles out of the processing chamber, after the cleaning cycle. The method also includes loading the semiconductor wafer into the processing chamber, and performing the lithography exposure process on the semiconductor wafer in the processing chamber using a reticle fixed on the reticle holder after the cleaning cycle.

    摘要: Methods of semiconductor processing may include performing a process on a semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor substrate may be seated on a substrate support positioned within a processing region of a semiconductor processing chamber. The methods may include flowing a first backside gas through the substrate support at a first flow rate. The methods may include removing the semiconductor substrate from the processing region of the semiconductor processing chamber. The methods may include performing a plasma cleaning operation within the processing region of the semiconductor processing chamber. The methods may include flowing a second backside gas through the substrate support at a second flow rate. At least a portion of the second backside gas may flow into the processing region through accesses in the substrate support.
