Patent abstract
A method of using a film formation apparatus for a semiconductor process includes processing by a cleaning gas a by-product film deposited on an inner surface of a reaction chamber of the film formation apparatus. This step is arranged to supply the cleaning gas into the reaction chamber, and set an interior of the reaction chamber at a first temperature and a first pressure. The by-product film mainly contains a high-dielectric-constant material. The cleaning gas contains chlorine without containing fluorine. The first temperature and the first pressure are set to activate chlorine in the cleaning gas.
