ABSTRACT:
A system for in situ plasma etch removal of deposition products that accumulate during device processing. An r.f. electrode is configured to removably fit coaxially within the chamber, a quartz tube. A chamber heater shield functions also as an r.f. return. Cleaning gas is introduced into the chamber and r.f. power supplied to the electrodes to initiate an r.f. plasma which etch cleans formations on the quartz tube walls. The deposition equipment is cleaned without the need for disassembly.
