ABSTRACT:
A method (100) of cleaning residues from a chemical vapor deposition apparatus (10) is provided. The present method (100) includes introducing into a chamber (12) cleaning gases such as N.sub.2, C.sub.2 F.sub.6, and O.sub.2, and forming a plasma from the cleaning gases. The present method also includes removing residues from interior surfaces of the chamber 12 by forming a volatile product from the residues and at least one of the cleaning gases.
