Abstract

See full text

Embodiments disclosed herein generally relate to a system, method, and apparatus for controlling substrate outgassing such that hazardous gasses are eliminated from a surface of a substrate after a III-V epitaxial growth process or an etch clean process, and prior to additional processing. An oxygen containing gas is flowed to a substrate in a load lock chamber, and subsequently a non-reactive gas is flowed to the substrate in the load lock chamber. As such, hazardous gases and outgassing residuals are decreased and/or removed from the substrate such that further processing may be performed.
