    Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus for cleaning an exhaust line of reaction chambers. The apparatus comprises plasma chambers into which a fluorine or chlorine gas is induced from a gas supply unit as a source of fluorine or chlorine radicals for removing solid deposits in the exhaust line, and a plasma source supply mechanism to convert the fluorine or chlorine gas into the fluorine or chlorine radicals through application of power to the fluorine or chlorine gas. The plasma source supply mechanism comprises an RF generator, antennas surrounding the plasma chamber to convert the fluorine or chlorine gas into the fluorine or chlorine radicals after receiving RF power, a relay switch for selection of RF supply to connect the RF generator with the plasma chambers, and a controller to control the RF power. The radicals are supplied to the exhaust line, and serve to remove the solid deposits.
