<p>Methods and apparatus for processing a germanium containing material, a III-V compound containing material, or a II-VI compound containing material disposed on a substrate using a hot wire source are provided herein. In some embodiments, a method for processing a material disposed on a substrate, wherein the material is at least one of a germanium containing material, a III-V compound containing material, or a II-VI compound containing material, includes providing a hydrogen containing gas to a first process chamber having a plurality of filaments; flowing a current through the plurality of filaments to raise a temperature of the plurality of filaments to a first temperature sufficient to decompose at least a portion of the hydrogen containing gas to form hydrogen atoms; and treating a surface of an exposed material on a substrate by exposing the material to hydrogen atoms formed by the decomposition of the hydrogen containing gas.</p> |
