  • the present disclosure generally relates to coatings applicable to a variety of substrate articles and equipment, e.g., in respect of structures and apparatus having surface that is susceptible to formation thereon of undesired oxide, nitride, fluoride, chloride, or other halide contaminant species.
  • the disclosure relates to semiconductor manufacturing equipment and methods of enhancing the performance thereof, and more specifically relates to semiconductor manufacturing equipment susceptible to contamination and particle deposition associated with the presence of dialuminum hexachloride vapor in such equipment, and to compositions and methods for combating such adverse contamination and particle deposition.
  • contaminant species such as surfaces of aluminum, anodized aluminum, quartz, stainless steel, etc. that are susceptible to formation of undesired oxide, nitride, and halide (e.g., fluoride and/or chloride) contaminant species thereon, which interfere with the use, utility, or function of the associated products, equipment, or materials.
