ABSTRACT:
An improved method of etching or cleaning a cold-wall chemical vapor deposition chamber that is substantially moisture-free at a low chamber temperature and a low chamber pressure while maintaining a satisfactory etch rate by using at least one etchant gas selected from the group consisting of nitrogen trifluoride, chlorine trifluoride, sulfur hexafluoride, carbon tetrafluoride or the like and mixtures thereof.
