Embodiments of methods for removing materials from a substrate are provided herein. In some embodiments, a method of controlling contaminants in a process chamber may include flowing a first gas into the process chamber during an interval between completion of a process and start of a subsequent process in the process chamber to remove the contaminants from the process chamber; and flowing a second gas into the process chamber at a specific flow rate during the subsequent process to generate a same species as the contaminants.
