Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus to decompose nonhydrolyzable ambients such as chloluorocarbons and nitrogen trifluoride which enables the conventional disposal of their byproducts are disclosed. It employs photo-decomposition of the nonhydrolyzable ambient using UV light and a mediating species to allow chemical reactions to occur which form an effluent which is hydrolyzed by conventional methods. This abatement process is amenable to point-of-use decomposition systems required for modular cluster tool systems used in microelectronic device fabrication.
