  • Publication number: 20250122615
    Abstract: A method of cleaning a chamber of a plasma processing device to remove depositions formed after the plasma processing device has been used to deposit a dielectric material including silicon and carbon by introducing a first cleaning gas mixture into the chamber through a first gas inlet in a first introducing step; generating a first plasma in the chamber from the first cleaning gas mixture in a first cleaning step; introducing a second cleaning gas mixture into a remote plasma source in a second introducing step; generating a second plasma in the remote plasma source from a second cleaning gas mixture in a remote plasma generating step; and performing a second cleaning step by allowing fluorine radicals from the second plasma to enter the chamber and introducing a third cleaning gas mixture into the chamber at the same time as the fluorine radicals from the second plasma.
