ABSTRACT:
An apparatus used for processing substrates in a corrosive process gas is rendered substantially resistant to corrosion, by coating processing components exposed to the corrosive process gas with a coating comprising rhodium. The rhodium coating can be deposited by electroplating, and preferably has a thickness of at least about 10 microinches. A coating of nickel can be also applied between the rhodium coating and the processing component.
