Abstract

See full text

Methods of reducing particles in semiconductor substrate processing are provided herein. Methods involve performing a precursor-free radio frequency cycle purge without a substrate in the process chamber by introducing a gas without a precursor into the process chamber through the showerhead and igniting a plasma one or more times after a film is deposited on the substrate by introducing a vaporized liquid precursor to the process chamber.
